According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Thee Sacred Souls received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from 4 critic scores.[24]

Mark Bentley's review for Uncut described the album as "barrel-aged deep soul, laced with Latin, lyrically inventive, and peculiarly fresh."[23] Robin Murray of Clash wrote that the album's "down tempo sweet soul feels transported from the heavens, a soothing, harmony-laden blast of soulful magic."[2] Writing for Mojo, Lois Wilson stated that the album's songs "are broad in scope and full of individual flourishes."[22] Rocio Contreras of KCRW described the album as "a sonic love letter draped in beautiful harmonies, pulling from sacred memories to create something fresh, new, and full of flavor"[25] Phil Thetremoloking of God Is in the TV wrote that the album was a "perfect re-creation of classic doo-wop soul" but that it lacked adventurousness.[1]
