Critical reception

Thom Owens of AllMusic writes, "Yours Truly is one of Earl Thomas Conley's finest efforts, boasting a consistently impressive set of songs and wonderful vocals from Conley."

Jonathan Pappalardo of My Kind of Country grades this album and "A" and concludes his article with, "Yours Truly is an excellent album, which to my ears, has aged remarkably well. I love seeing artists with a somewhat updated sound and Conley shines here. “Brotherly Love” is the standout track and well deserved big hit. Go to YouTube and stream everything else.
