Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming said, "If Credit in Heaven has a flaw, it's that its reach sometimes exceeds its grasp; while none of the songs are bad, some are more immediately memorable than others... an under-appreciated milestone of the Midwestern new wave that awaits rediscovery." [1]
In his retrospective review of the Suburbs' early albums, Ira Robbins of Trouser Press praised the album as "a slickly delivered opus that refines the band’s approach and fairly bubbles over with creative concepts, great playing and bizarre songs. ... A highly recommended stunner." [2]
The album won a Minnesota Music Award for Best LP in 1982. [3]
