[[Allmusic]] editor Sharon Mawer found that "there was a mixture of styles on ''Keep On'', from the salsa, holiday-inspired "Happiness" to the [[Justin Timberlake]] pastiche of "Ain't Such a Bad Place to Be," on which even the Indian-style intro worked well, to the ballads "Save Yourself," "Who Am I," and the final song, "Home," a haunting atmospheric track co-written by [[Nitin Sawhney]]. ''Keep On'' ran out of steam near the end with three tracks, all again co-written by Young but nothing more than album fillers, none of them having much of a melody [...] Altogether an excellent pop album from an artist who was maturing very nicely as the years went by."<ref name="Allmusic"/>
