Tyler Jenke from Rolling Stone Australia said "Divine Intervention is a jam-packed affair which illustrates every facet of the Client Liaison experience. From slick instrumentation, to the carefree, iconic-pop stylings reminiscent of '90s-era Michael Jackson, there's barely a second that goes by in which you're unable to feel the same energy, excitement, and pure, unadulterated enjoyment that both Morgan and Miller are producing the record with." [15] David from auspOp said This album affirm "Australian artists have real vision to create music that's not just meaningful to us domestically, but to the rest of the globe too. As a body of work, Divine Intervention makes it incredibly hard not to fall in love with Client Liaison's unique brand of music." [16]
