Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek praised some of the individual tracks, but wrote of the album as a whole; "... while See sounded more like an updated version of the Rascals of old, the consistency of attack wasn't there and there are several simply dodgy cuts, making the album—as an album—a disappointment."

Rolling Stone critic Lenny Kaye wrote in his review "Sometimes one wonders if the Rascals wouldn't be better off just making hit singles," he mused in his review of See. "Given the space of an entire album, the group seems to founder about, coming up with material that is in some cases good, but more often simply innocuous. Their latest, See, falls within this tradition."
