(The album's follow-up, Just a Little Lovin', was also recorded at Capitol, but would be distributed elsewhere due to the label's corporate restructuring.)

Thom Jurek of AllMusic concludes a lengthy review with, "Suit Yourself is aptly named, Lynne dressed herself this time out with great players and finely wrought songs, and put it all together on her own.

"[7] T.J. Simon of The Music Box gives the album 3½ out of a possible 5 stars and concludes with, "Another impressive element of Suit Yourself is that Lynne produced the effort herself, and the mix is perfect.

On future releases, Lynne would be wise to distance herself further from standard country fare and instead emphasize her soulful side, but in the meantime, there’s a lot to enjoy on Suit Yourself.
