Allmusic.com gave Crossword Puzzle a 2 1/2 star review:
Crossword Puzzle was the eighth LP from the Partridge Family — a multimedia, made-for-TV project that hit marketing pay dirt learning lessons from the success of the Monkees’ manufactured origins, as well as the real-life pop/rock family the Cowsills. … the best material on Crossword Puzzle comes from Tony Romeo’s lush emotive ballad “As Long as There’s You,” which points in the direction of Cassidy’s solo efforts. Of the lighter fare, another Romeo tune, “It Means I’m in Love With You,” has an airy bubblegum lilt that glides through the catchy melody. These highlights detract from the simply awful “Let Your Love Go” or the half-baked “It’s a Long Way to Heaven” — both of which are little more than mediocre filler.
