Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy found that Under the Streetlight "manages to give each song the Boyz' soulful barbershop quartet treatment with respect and admiration for the originals, especially with a superb version of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" [...] The Boyz may be all grown up but their skills clearly haven’t been lost."[3] Renowned for Sound remarked that "the Men still have a solid grasp of harmony and the tightly polished ability that comes from 30 years of performing. With an array of guest performers, [...] they prove that age hasn’t dulled their harmonic abilities. The album treads a pleasant enough path, but risks alienating long-term fans eager for something a bit more contemporary."[4]
