AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "the group does take a different approach on New Beginning, backing away from the New Jack grooves that dominated their debut and exploring a more direct, organic R&B vibe. They haven't left hip-hop behind, but they've added a new array of sonic textures that gives their music added depth. But the true strength of New Beginning is the vocal capabilities of SWV [...] There may be a couple of weak spots on the album, but the trio's considerable talents make those moments easy to forgive."[1]
