Critical reception

A. D. Amorosi, writing for Variety, called Public Displays of Affection: The Album a "remarkably seasoned and strong debut" as well as a "long, luxurious album." He found that "although Muni Long isn't a belter and does put on the bedroom voice on a couple of tracks, her first full-length album is a blast of vintage ‘90s R&B that isn’t trying to be cute: It’s filled with frank lyrics about of love and sex from an artist who’s been around for more than a minute."

Public Displays of Affection: The Album debuted and peaked at number five on the US Top Heatseekers chart in the week of October 8, 2022, becoming Long's first top ten entry on the chart.
