Critical reception



"Gospel for a New Century" was well received by contemporary music critics. Hubert Adjei-Kontoh, writing for 'Pitchfork', designated the track as "Best New Music", saying that the song start with "a sunny strummed melody" that "narrates the initial coupling, while the impending collapse is represented by a horn and drum sample that could be a 'Donuts' interlude."

KRCW-TV gave "Gospel for a New Century" the "Best New Track" designation describing the song as "balancing chaos and restraint, Yves Tumor cuts deep on "Gospel for a New Century." It serves as a springboard into the next phase of his artistic expression."
