The Dallas Observer wrote that "Vigilantes of Love is a unique blend of (American) rock 'n' roll and thoughtful spirituality that doesn't let its higher ambition get in the way of rocking the house."[14] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution thought that the band's "ongoing romance with roots-rock turns into blind adoration here, as head Vigilante Bill Mallonee checks his usually intricate lyrics and pop sensibilities for the offhand, roadhouse vibe of Son Volt or Wilco."[10]
The Windsor Star stated that the album "delivers messages of hope, commitment, and inner strength through Mallonee's subtle Christian beliefs."[13] The Dayton Daily News called it a "wrenching, poignant, anguished and a terrific piece of work."[15]
AllMusic deemed the album "all highlights."[9]
