Michael Heatley of Record Collector described it as "another excellent studio album of all-new material," noting the addition of a horn section that gave the album a different feel compared to its rootsier predecessor. He also pointed out that Mayall featured more prominently on keyboards, a feature he had introduced in his live shows.
David West of Classic Rock observed that while Mayall's voice had become "a little rougher, a little thinner," he still knew how to deliver a song effectively. He praised the regular bandโguitarist Rocky Athas, bassist Greg Rzab, and drummer Jay Davenportโfor their understanding of when to push forward or hold back.
AllMusicโs Thom Jurek remarked that the album, which unusually focuses on Mayallโs keyboard skills, demonstrated that while his voice showed signs of aging, especially on slower tracks, he could still perform effectively. He noted that *Find a Way to Care* didnโt break new ground but was exploratory in its approach.
