Jon Caramanica from The New York Times called Unbelievable Wyatt's "most thrilling album, reminiscent of an early Faith Evans record, with feisty declarations of love and empowerment over lush, soft-edged hip-hop production."[4]SoulTracks critic Howard Dukes wrote of the album: "KeKe Wyatt has had an eventful decade, and hopefully the storms have passed. However, it’s possible to use the trials of life as inspiration for art. It appears that has Wyatt managed to do just that on Unbelievable."[5]
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album three out of five stars. He was critical with Wyatt's decision to work with a larger number of collaborators on Unbelievabkle, writing: "There are so many of them that the album sounds disjointed, from the lack of song-to-song flow to the variety of effects placed on Wyatt’s voice [...] This being a Shanachie release, there are some intriguing choices for covers. Wyatt and Ruben Studdard play Cherrelle and Alexander O’Neal on a thumping, glitzy cover of "Saturday Love," while Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" gets a surprisingly light reading."[3]
