Critical reception
AllMusic editor Liana Jonas found that on "At Last marks a refreshing return by Gladys Knight, who doesn't miss a beat," calling it "a much-welcomed return by the gifted vocalist who easily adapts to contemporary music without compromising her signature sweet tones. The 13 tracks featured on At Last are a blend of mid-tempo R&B fare and ballads. Because Knight seamlessly incorporates a 2001 music sensibility to this recording, At Last can comfortably sit alongside works by Destiny's Child, Toni Braxton, Faith Evans, and other younger musical counterparts [...] Being out of the studio for six years has had no effect on Knight, as she is in top form. Her voice is rich, soulful, and silk." New York Post critic Dan Aquilante wrote that At Last showed her in "terrific voice" but was "way too scattered," with "too much mush" and too little of the R&B/gospel style that defined her career. He concluded it was still good to hear her but hoping for a more focused effort.
