Upon release, Eliza Doolittle received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 68 based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[4] Michael Hann, writing for The Guardian, called Eliza Doolittle "a coherent and effortless-sounding debut album [...] It's a delicious soufflé [...] that feels as light as air, melting on your tongue. Admittedly, that also means that as soon as it is over it has disappeared without a trace, but do picnic soundtracks really need to be weighed down with pretensions to significance?"[7] Steve Horowitz from PopMatters fount that the album "mostly succeeds. The baker’s dozen worth of tracks here are delightfully sweet, if maybe a bit light in content. This is ear candy that’s meant to be pleasing rather than personal, and avoids political or controversial topics."[12]

Allmusic editor by Jon O'Brien found that the "formula of brush-stroke percussion, bluesy guitars, and light airy melodies is repeated throughout the entire 13 tracks, but Doolittle's timeless and effortlessly dreamy tones make the slight repetitiveness a lot easier to endure [...] While its relentless chirpiness may be a little too twee for some, Eliza Doolittle is still a beguiling debut that would undoubtedly have found an audience even without the benefit of her showbiz background."[4] Simon Cage from Daily Express remarked that the "songs are quirky and strong, her voice gorgeous and the whole thing is busting out all over with charm. Nice work young lady."[8] Fraser McAlpine of BBC wrote that "if you can handle a lot of wacky in your pop music, there’s a lovely album here waiting for you."[6]


Chart performance


Eliza Doolitte peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart.[14] On 7 January 2011, it was announced by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) that the album had been certified Platinum for sales of 300,000 in the UK.[15]
