Allmusic 3/5 stars [1]

Though not as successful as his debut album In Effect Mode, Private Times achieved a level of popularity, making it to #20 on the Billboard 200 chart and #4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albumschart. Two singles reached the Top 5 on the R&B Singles chart; "Missunderstanding" reached #1, and "No Matter What You Do," a duet with Diana Ross, peaked at #4.

"No Matter What You Do" was included on Ross' internationally successful multi-platinum album "The Force Behind the Power," giving Sure! valuable exposure in Pan-Asian nations and across continental European territories. Prior to that time, Al B. Sure! hadn't had much visibility outside of the States.
