Edna Gunderson of USA Today wrote "Full of poignant ballads and rootsy romps, Souls draws on Raitt's defiance, grace and earthy authenticity, allowing her to stretch stylistically without crowding the signature attractions of her brandied vocals and stinging slide guitar." [12] Brad Kava of the Mercury News proclaimed, "There are some touches of world music, but no real surprises. What you have is an album that is rock solid all the way through and continues her run as an uncompromising classic artist in the vein of Bob Dylan and Tom Petty." [11]
"I Will Not Be Broken" peaked at No. 27 on the US Billboard' Adult Contemporary chart. This tune was also Grammy nominated in the category of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. [15] [16]
