AllMusic editor Jonathan Widran found that the focus on ''Chapter V: Underrated'' was "blissfully more on compelling, groove-oriented songwriting and Johnson's powerful, emotional vocals than star-studded invites. She asserts her ability to get back on her feet on the brief horn-fired title track intro, then engages in a sassy, En Vogue-like exchange about seeking an equal mate on the funked-up "A Boss." Johnson continues the assertive tone on the upbeat and catchy "Label Me", blending danceable rhythms with her characteristic ballad style. While often considered an underrated artist, this album finds her at a vocal and creative peak."<ref name="allmusic"/>
