Allmusic.com gave Naturally a 3 star review:
Three Dog Night kept up its reputation for putting other artists’ songs on the charts with Naturally, one of the group’s finest offerings. With Hutton, Wells, and Negron sounding amazingly tight and fluid, they took their soft rock dynamics and mixed them with an abundance of hooks and harmonies to produce three Top 20 singles, eventually earning the band a gold disk. The fresh-sounding “One Man Band” hit number 19 in December of 1970, followed by Three Dog Night’s most acclaimed tune, the Hoyt Axton-penned “Joy to the World,” which spent six straight weeks at number one, and Russ Ballard’s “Liar,” which peaked at the number seven spot only four months later. But Naturally’s energy stretches far beyond the album’s hits, mainly because Three Dog Night managed to carry the spirited groove and boundless, unconfined feeling of the late ’60s into the next decade with most of the songs on this album.
