Lee Zimmerman of Blurt claimed Soul Shadows "reflects the UK rocker’s love for authentic American soul music ... (Carrack) sings with the kind of conviction that would make Al Green, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett nod their heads with approval."[3]

In a mixed-to-positive review, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says of Soul Shadows that "the real human touch comes from Carrack's voice, which is as warm and easy as ever while also benefiting from the gentle assurance of an old master ... if the songs don't necessarily hook, this certainly is a mellow good time."[2]
