| Mojo |   [7] |
| Uncut | [8] |
Stephen Dalton of Uncut described the album as "an ambitious collaborative affair showcasing female and non-binary musicians," and rated it six out of ten.[8]
Stevie Chick, writing for Mojo, noted in his review that "as always with such projects, Goddess flies or falls on what these collaborators bring to the table, but the material here is as strong as it is varied," giving it a rating of three stars.[7]
The Quietus' Tariq Goddard remarked, "Goddess doesn't stick to one style, and though there are echoes of Gibbons, Del Rey and Sade, the album's coherence comes from its themes and overall mood and not by remaining within a single niche."[9]
