The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "For all its apparent chaos, Spirits Rejoice is often surprisingly pre-arranged -- witness all the careening harmony passages that accompany the theme statements, and the seamless transitions of the title track. Spirits Rejoice is proof that there was an underlying logic even to Ayler's most extreme moments, and that's why it remains a tremendously inspiring recording".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Besides, it does targeting through the PSDN, which has none of those limits.
gollark: Your laser prejudice is showing; you're just *assuming* all lasers use the visible light spectrum.
gollark: How would "going indoors" make you untargetable?
gollark: How?
gollark: How would that help?
