Critical reception.
"The Malibu Sessions" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic found that "The Malibu Sessions" revealed "how compromised" previous album "Gypsy Heart" was, writing: "Caillat feels at home [...] Such comfortable surroundings can't help but make "The Malibu Sessions" feel cozy, but warmth is her specialty: whether she's strumming a ballad or riding a light reggae beat, she exudes friendliness. Her greatest trick is to be cheerful while managing to never seem cloying. At her best, Caillat feels as relaxing as a lazy afternoon at the beach, and "The Malibu Session"s is indeed among her best, a pure distillation of her sunny charms." Michael Smith from "Renowned for Sound" felt that the album "may not be Colbie Caillat’s most surprising or inventive creation to date, but it takes some of the better elements of her older music and repurposes them into a breezy, sunny collection of tracks that you’d be hard pressed to hate. "The Malibu Sessions" easily feels like something that needed to happen for Caillat as she shows off her more enjoyable carefree side."
