Billboard said the album proves that "Damone still has one of the best pop standard voices in the business".[2]
The El Paso Times called it "a quietly sensitive album of an entertainer long confident of his success."[3]
Jason Ankeny of AllMusic praised Perry Botkin's arrangements and wrote that Damone "seizes upon the album's smoky, boozy atmosphere with gusto".[1]
Historian Will Friedwald stated that The Damone Type of Thing is an excellent album although it does "intermingle good stuff and bad.[4]
