Critical reception

Chicago Reader editor James Porter noted that on "See Me, the production [...] might be the most experimental yet on a Leela James record." He found that "James sings against ominous guitars about the seeming impossibility of making it from day to day, with layers of overdubbed vocals crooning in assent. She never lets the production dominate, though, and remains in the center of the action at all times [...] Nearly two decades into her career, See Me shows that James is still making vital work."[2]
