Sherrie Winston of
People calld A Love Supreme "a classic soul affair," comparing 'Moore's supple, relaxed singing style" to a "a young Diana Ross with more lung power." Further praising Moore's vocal performance, the magazine noted that "she builds up a romantic sweat while keeping her vocal cool on "My Special Perfect One" and "Mood," and wrings tears without becoming maudlin on "Am I Losing You."[8] AllMusic declared Moore "one of the leading new R&B divas" and praised her vocal performances, writing: "Her voice has a remarkable range, and an emotive quality rare in many new artists, [...] reminiscent of Diana Ross, but a full-throttle Ross. Her jazz inclinations and rich, lower register also remind the listener of Anita Baker and Toni Braxton."[5]

A Love Supreme debuted and peaked at number 64 on the US Billboard 200 in the week of March 12, 1994.[9] It also opened at number 11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[10]
