| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic editor Alex Henderson rated the album four out of five stars. He found that like Hathaway's debut album, A Moment "is a mixed bag ranging from the strong to the decent to the routine (depending on who's producing and/or writing a particular song) [...] Overall, this is a slightly weaker effort than Hathaway's debut. One hoped that eventually, she would live up to her promise and deliver a truly outstanding album, one that would become a huge name in R&B."[2]
