Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that "this fourth album is only outshined by Ghetto Hymns as Hollister's best It's a lean album with plenty of dimensions and little in the way of wasted moments. Hollister makes every second count, and while there might be a few lines that make you scratch your head – such as "I need you as bad as old folks need soft shoes" – Real Talk forges the singer's status as one of the most consistent, down-to-earth figures in contemporary R&B." Jason King from Vibe felt that "Hollister may be blessed with a passionate, churchy singing voice, but his sensibility is much more hip hop than gospel or R&B" and while his "earnest spirit shines through, he doesn’t demonstrate the faith needed to take true musical risks."
