In fact, lacks so much of a groove, it would be safe to say the singer has almost completely abandoned her soulful roots altogether', deeming the result 'disappointing', 'low-rent', 'unexpected' and 'most of all, it seems like something Joss Stone was previously above'. She later concluded that 'n a world where machined dance fodder, rap-deckled pop and lumbering rawk dominates, a genuine article of soul music-especially one where the thick bass, tumbling Wurlitzer and bright guitars set the tone-is a joyous noise, indeed.' The Guardian 's Paul MacInnes believed that the album is 'proficiently played and Stone's voice has a range and tonal dexterity that few of her peers possess', but 'the final product is so familiar and so shorn of genuine emotion that LP1 quickly loses any sense of identity and becomes standard fare, indistinguishable from any number of other recordings.' Colin McGuire agreed in his review for PopMatters, and said that the album is 'missing the key element of why she has been so lauded over the course of her increasingly mature career: A groove.

Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote, 'For most of the album she lets her big, smoky voice rip into songs of all-out romantic strife' and that 'er voice is a loose cannon LP1 figures out how to aim it.' The Boston Globe 's Scott McLennan noted that the album 'has bolder blues-rock and country undertones, and those platforms elevate the originality of Stone's raw talents.' He further stated: 'With her rich tone that is cut with a bit of rasp, Stone has the ability to inhabit songs the way good actors create characters.' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated that 'Stewart is naturally reluctant to present Stone in a strictly soul setting R&B is the foundation, but he dabbles in tight funk, folk, blues, Euro-rock, and modernist pop, giving LP1 just enough elasticity so it breathes and just enough color so it doesn't seem staid.' Holly Gleason of Paste described the album as 'a full-tumble of relentless musicianship, grit and soul' and compared it to Dusty Springfield's 1969 album Dusty in Memphis. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 59, based on 18 reviews.
