In an AllMusic review, Jason Ankeny calls This Mother's Daughter "the most soulful record cut by Nancy Wilson during her Capitol tenure," and says that McDaniels' "subtle but ingenious jazz-funk flourishes are essential to the project's immediacy and appeal." Ankeny hails Wilson's performance as "sophisticated yet saucy."[1]
