[[AllMusic]] showed a mixed reaction in their retrospective review, noting the overt similarity to [[the Eagles]] and deeming the rock opera of side two "a little too wide-eyed and doomsaying for most modern audiences". However, they praised the track "Better," comparing it to the [[psychedelic rock]] work of [[The Beatles]].<ref name="allmusic"/> Critiques from other publications offered the following: "This record is a flat-out winner. Brilliant." from Campus Life Magazine; "Shotgun Angel' is truly an offering of excellence to the Lord." from Buzz magazine (UK), and "Not until now have we seen an album that is as versatile, professional, or as serious musically as is Daniel Amos' Shotgun Angel." from the Cornerstone newspaper.<ref name=DA/> In Powell's Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music he offers that it sounds "like nothing ever produced in contemporary music, Christian or otherwise" even though he notes comparisons with [[Queen (band)|Queen]], [[Pink Floyd]] and ''[[Abbey Road]]''.<ref name=MAP/>
