Allmusic.com gave Ye-Me-Le a 3 star review:
Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn’t Ye-Me-Le produce any hits (“Wichita Lineman” reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes’ most valuable contribution in the long run, and more reliance upon routine covers of pop/rock standards like “Easy to Be Hard” and “What the World Needs Now.”
