Awarding the album ten out of ten by Cross Rhythms, Lins Honeyman writes, the album "showcases the duo's ability to bravely say things that rarely get said in songs – tackling extremism from all walks of religion bolstered by a plea to God for it to end – and crowns the latest in a long line of groundbreaking Gungor creations." [2] Madeleine Dittmer, rating the album five stars at The Christian Beat, states, "Spirit conveys important messages in each song while simultaneously offering creative, beautiful music...Each track could stand alone as a work worthy of praise, but as a whole, Spirit is beautiful, convicting music."
