Reviewing it for 'The Los Angeles Times', Gary Goldstein wrote, "it's heartening to see greater openness to LGBTQ+ folks than outsiders might expect", but he suggested the film should have "dug more deeply and aggressively into the virulent religious and political forces that have enabled Southern inhospitality toward LGBTQ+ and other diverse groups to persist."
In 'Variety', Peter Debrudge opined, "There's a lesson here that applies to more than just LGBT political causes: To heal the country and move on, we must reach across the divide and listen to one another. And what better way to do that than with a concert?"
For Dan Callahan of 'TheWrap', "There are the expected clichs voiced here about how music can transform hearts and minds, but 'Gay Chorus Deep South' is most useful as a way of seeing how intolerance hides behind evasive Southern hospitality and how it might be vanquished with what that hospitality seeks to avoid: direct confrontation."
