AllMusic[5]

Lucid was met with a generally positive reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album three out of four stars, saying "Jennings draws character sketches, spins cautionary tales—as someone still growing, learning from his mistakes—and largely sticks to the type of mature R&B that his listeners don't get from anyone else. He briefly breaks from the norm with "Rock," a classy but contemporary steppers groove that's one of his best songs. Despite a mostly new cast of collaborators—including TGT associate Brandon Hodge and producer/songwriter Lashaunda "Babygirl" Carr—Lucid is a natural progression for a veteran artist who seems to have plenty left to express."[5]
