Watch Me Shine: My Story was well-received by critics, who complimented the candid nature of the autobiography. Heat called the book a "sensational page-turner everyone will be talking about" and Now Magazine described it as "startlingly honest". Hello Magazine said that the autobiography was "set to fly off the shelves and tell a few home truths" and The Daily Express gave the autobiography four stars out of five, commenting that "Emily's autobiography really excels is in its early chapters, when she writes about growing up in 80's Los Angeles."
