Edwin Boswer from Soulinstereo rated the album four out of five stars. He wrote: "The first thing you'll notice is that her voice has become even stronger during her absence [...] Fans of Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce, or even Monica's new one, likely will be bored by the lack of boisterous beats from today’s most sought-after producers. But [...] Who Knew? is a return to R&B’s roots. Let’s hope this triumph is just the first of many for Keke."[11]
PopMatters's Tyler Lewis found that Wyatt "has crafted an album that is designed to let everyone know that she is here to stay. Who Knew? is built around Wyatt's gospel-reared, wonderfully versatile voice, which, mostly, works out in fine, if uninspiring, fashion [...] Who Knew? proves that Wyatt is a terrific singer. But that doesn't necessarily mean this is a terrific album. It is not. But it is good enough to make Keke Wyatt a singer to watch."[10]
In the United States, Who Knew? peaked at number thirty-five on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, spending a total of eight weeks on the chart, and number thirty on the Independent Albums, spending two weeks on the chart.[2][3]
