Critical reception 

The Lady Killer received generally positive reviews from critics.  At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 80, based on 33 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". AllMusic writer Andy Kellman called it "a thoroughly engrossing album". Entertainment Weeklys Leah Greenblatt commented that the album "both honors and tweaks the tropes of vintage songcraft with hefty doses of sweet Motown / Stax boogie, a smattering of Curtis Mayfield superfly, and imaginary theme songs for James Bond". Bill Friskics-Warren of The Washington Post wrote that it "offers some of the most ebullient pop this side of old-school hit-machines ranging from Holland-Dozier-Holland to Gamble and Huff".  Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot gave the album three-and-a-half out of four stars and lauded Green's "retro-soul classicism and dark-tinged eccentricity".  Slant Magazines Huw Jones praised the album's accessibility and "buoyant nü-Motown and progressive soul", while noting Green's singing as "absolutely flawless. Pitch-perfect from tip to toe". Rolling Stone writer Jody Rosen dubbed The Lady Killer "one of the most engrossing records of 2010".

In a mixed review, Jon Caramanica of The New York Times found Green to be "reduced to an accent piece [...] purposefully restrained", stating "Green’s vocals are buried low in the mix, mere decoration for the arrangements and textures [...] crisp, lovely and certainly well rehearsed".  Jer Fairall of PopMatters found the album's premise inconsistent, writing that it "feels relatively safe [...] a thoroughly likeable little trifle of a record", but added that "As a throwback, it is indeed impeccable".  Despite viewing it as less "gleefully unhinged" than his previous work, NMEs Jason Draper cited it as Green's "most focused solo album". The Observers Killian Fox wrote that "his idiosyncrasies have proven too potent to repress".  Nitsuh Abebe of New York called it "suitably theatrical—a lavishly orchestrated thing", and lauded Green's dramatist "lady-killer persona" and "artifice".  Los Angeles Times writer Margaret Wappler noted "a glassy modernity that makes the album a sexy sonic adventure of loving and leaving" and commented that "it’s not Green’s caddish ways that charm. Rather [...] it’s his big heart underneath". 

Despite writing that "he's not always lethal", Pitchforks Joshua Klein commented that Green "manages to avoid being both too rough or too smooth", complimenting his "contemporary, confident conception of soul music" and the album's "de rigueur synthetic frills". Barry Walters of Spin noted its "detailed encapsulations of Saturday-night transcendence and Sunday-morning love pains" and its music "beautifully busy 21st-century Motown as greasy as it is vibrant". Amy Linden of The Village Voice called the album "romantic—chaste, even", writing that "[Green]'s written a manual on how to both break and mend someone's heart".  The Independents Andy Gill commented that "he manages to avoid all the bubblebath boudoir-soul cliches that litter most R&B albums". Chicago Sun-Times writer Thomas Conner gave the album four out of four stars and called it "an utter delight", writing that "every song rings fresh, modern, anthemic, packed with earth, wind and fire". 

Accolades 

The Lady Killer was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, presented at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012.  The song "Fool for You", featuring Melanie Fiona, won Grammy Awards for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. "Fuck You" won the Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
