Awarding the album four stars from CCM Magazine , Andy Argyrakis states, "Past-recording history may have been spotty, but Burlap to Cashmere is officially back with Freedom Souls". [1] Bert Saraco, giving the album a four out of five at The Phantom Tollbooth, writes, "Freedom Souls brings a slightly more diverse palette to Burlap to Cashmere, with a richer blend of keyboard and some atmospheric journeys that incorporate some jazzier elements into their already-fascinating mix of classic rock, pop, and Mediterranean sounds." [3] Rating the album four out of five for The Phantom Tollbooth, Derek Walker says, "the sound remains fresh and unpredictable". [4] Alex Caldwell, awarding the album four and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "Freedom Souls is an excellent record, full of both bold, eclectic music (filling a particular need in a Christian Music scene filled with so many sound-alike artists) and a strong, story-like theme of wandering and redemption."
