AllMusic editor David Jeffries felt thatJust Charlie "sticks with the high-quality "grown folks" R&B material that put his previous two albums in the Top Ten ofBillboard 200 album chart. Besides whittling the number of special guests down from three to one, casual fans will have problems telling this one from his previous release, but these ten smooth cuts go down easy and give no sign the formula has stopped working [...] Maybe the album naming scheme –Charlie, Last Name Wilson,Uncle Charlie,Just Charlie – could be reconsidered, but otherwise, this is Wilson the way you want him."[1]
