Release and reception

Sacred Music was generally well received by critics with a review by Andrew Stewart in Choir & Organ magazine describing the show as "an effective antidote" to "idea-lite television documentaries". An article by Tom Service in The Guardian further described the show's second series as having "a paradoxical place in today's popular culture" whilst showing "us why sacred music still matters". Whilst a review of the show's second season by James Walton at The Telegraph described the season's first two episodes as "every bit as good as the first [season]".

Most episodes have been released on DVD under The Sixteen's own label, Coro.
