Allmusic.com gave Cross That Line this review:
After a three-year wait, this album was a bit of a disappointment. Musically, it is his best yet, but it lacked a certain energy that the others had. The songs seemed to replace vivacity with length. The album didn’t do very well on the charts; the number 13 single (U.S.), “Everlasting Love,” was the biggest hit.
