Allmusic editor Liana Jonas found that "within minutes of listening to the disc, audiences will think, 'this is like all the other girl-group R&B fare on the radio today'. And it is. Sunny Days is rife with contemporary danceable grooves, guest flows, urban flavor, and several grab-the-Kleenex ballads. And what's wrong with this? [...] To be sure, the band has matured. The songs sound more seasoned this go-round [...] Also, their voices sound more robust and confident [...] Welcome back, Allure. Here's hoping for more sunny days."[1]
