The original album cover featured a darkly lit close-up shot of Mumba's face. A&M Records president Ron Fair made the decision to release the album in the United States with a new cover which had Mumba positioned in front of a bright colourful portrait, as he wanted it to be easily identifiable and express Mumba's true personality. The re-issued version removed two songs and included two re-recordings; "Baby, Come Over (This Is Our Night)" and "The Boy", which featured Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas, and a new song, "Don't Need You To (Tell Me I'm Pretty)". It was released in the US on 27 March 2001.[8]

Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised Mumba's vocals for sounding "richer" than other teen pop artists, stating that Gotta Tell You is soulful and well-constructed. However, he also said that the album contained several unmemorable songs.[2] Laura Morgan of Entertainment Weekly considered Mumba to be the Irish equivalent of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Although she criticised the album's reliance on production over her personality, Morgan praised her seductive voice in songs such as "Lately" and "Body II Body".[1] For his "Consumer Guide" reviews, Robert Christgau gave the album a dud rating.[9]
