Thomas Ward of AllMusic stated, "The finest collection of Jimmy Witherspoon's gospel songs, Feelin' the Spirit is an essential addition to any Witherspoon collection. ... Witherspoon's voice and style are so distinctive that they make these songs seem new ... Never strictly a gospel artist, all of these recordings show sincerity and, more importantly, depth, both musically and spiritually".[2]
