  ## Critical reception
  
  J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun complimented the "luscious balladry" of "What I Do Best". Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "A wise single choice after the disappointing response to the "Show Me Love" sound-alike, "Love 4 Love". Robin gets a nice chance to showcase her delicious alto range on this sweeping pop/R&B ballad." He added that producer Nick Martinelli has constructed a track "that swirls and builds to an appropriately dramatic climax. Should easily pump new blood into Robin's noteworthy debut album on the pop tip, while forging a promising relationship at urban level." M.R. Martinez from Cashbox stated, "It's all about the voice. The girl can find a way to play with a lyric."
  
  Rod Edwards from the Gavin Report felt the singer "shows off her versatility on this heartwarming ballad", and added that the slow tempo "provides the perfect setting for this declaration of love, and will win the approval of even Robin's club-based audiences. This one is appropriate for that special candlelight dinner you've been planning." A reviewer from Music & Media wrote, "The club mix represents a sound which has now become widely accepted, far beyond the clubs, and it translates easily to radio. The original mix is a slow, warm and soulful track demonstrating the singer's versatility. Two nice mixes which are basically two different songs." Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five, stating that "serene and assured, Robin S. puts her all into a powerful, sweet ballad that is guaranteed to follow in the Top 20 footsteps of "Show Me Love" and "Luv 4 Luv"."
