Allmusic |     [2] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |    [3] |
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Vincent Thomas states, "Few albums exhibit the church's lasting effect on his musical direction more than Lift Every Voice and Sing. It's deeper than the album title... it's the Elvin Jones/John Coltrane-esque interplay between Roach and Harper on "Joshua" that makes this album unforgettable—every time the choir comes in, the emotion is enough to crumble the Wall of Jericho".[2]
