The Rolling Stone Album Guide	[3]

AllMusic editor Jason Elias found that Then Came You "is mostly an innovative effort of New York R&B/pop that should make anyone's short list of albums that truly capture the style [...] Here [Warwick] wasn't so much an interpreter of 'great material,' her voice and charm were the primary draw."^[2]
