Critical reception

Emily Ritchie of The Australian said the album "contains a mixture of original tunes and covers, with an overwhelmingly Motown and country influence. The instrumental accompaniment is simple and repetitive, but this ensures Kelly’s voice is highlighted". Ritchie complemented "If I Go" but criticised the covers for "offer[ing] scant differences from the original tunes".[1]

Commercial performance

Count On Me debuted at number three on the ARIA Albums Chart with sales of 2,455 copies. In its second week, the album fell to number 18 with less than 900 copies sold.[2]
