Allmusic’s William Ruhlmann rated Face Value four-and-a-half out of five stars. He stated: “Collins proves himself a passionate singer (and distinctive drummer) with a gift for both deeply felt ballads and snarling rockers.”[1] Steve Pond of Rolling Stone rated it three out of five stars. He explained that “[Collins] keeps the fluid vocal tone he’s lately developed in Genesis, yet ignores the group’s high-blown conceits in favor of some basic pop and R&B lessons”. He also called the album “pop music about personal turmoil”. However, he stated that “the singer’s broken heart is too clearly on his sleeve, and musical missteps abound”
