In a contemporary review, Steven C. Johnson of The Record considered Five Miles from Hope to be an "auspicious debut". He commented: "Jostyn crafts poignant, intelligent songs, and at times, sings them with utter abandon. The songs on this debut reveal just how wide Jostyn's range is and just how many emotions she can plausibly convey in her music." [4] Steve Morse of The Boston Globe felt the album "proves Jostyn to be a skilled songwriter", but felt "her singing isn't quite on par with her instrumental skills". [5]
AllMusic selected Five Miles from Hope as an "album pick", with Richard Meyer describing it as "folk-rock" with a "soul/jazz tinge". He praised Jostyn's "expressive" vocals and the "crisp stadium folk sound", concluding "If you like the best aspects of Melissa Manchester, Pat Benatar or Patty Smyth, this a record worth checking out."

All tracks are written by Mindy Jostyn and Jacob Brackman.
