AllMusic editor Alex Henderson compared the singer's performance on his debut album with Stevie Wonder and added: "One thing Patterson won't be accused of is favoring style over substance – when many of his contemporaries in the urban contemporary market were heavily into gimmickry, Patterson kept things honest and straightforward on a disc that isn't breathtaking, but is heartfelt and satisfying."[2] Billboard found that Rahsaan Patterson "issues a cavalcade of infectious tunes sure to attract a broad consumer base [...] Although the album taps vintage soul sounds, the overall feel remains grounded in contemporary rhythms."[3]
Rahsaan Patterson peaked at number 48 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the week ending February 15, 1997.[1]
