Sophie Gilbert of The Atlantic called Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special "a sparkling and star-studded oddity that’s part-PBS telethon and part-depraved sex comedy... At its best, it’s a glorious, only partly ironic homage to the vocal power and unfettered sexual magnetism of one of the most indelible figures in balladry. At its worst, it’s baffling."[2] Esther Zuckerman of The A.V. Club called the special "a hilarious assault on the very idea of conventional, heteronormative sexiness. It’s ideal Valentine’s Day programming for people who hate the nonsensical commercialism of Valentine’s Day and for anyone who can’t resist unfettered silliness."[3]
