Critical reception

Phil Freeman, writing on Stereogum "Ugly Beauty: The Month in Jazz" column, called the album "harmonically complex, melodically subtle hard bop in the spirit of the late ’80s/early ’90s Young Lions era, albeit more interested in collective virtuosity than skyrocketing fireworks displays by the leader." Thom Jurek, writing for AllMusic, gave the album four stars, stating that "New Gospel Revisited showcases Hill as a deeply committed jazzman leading an inspired band that fires on all cylinders."
