AllMusic

Trouser Press noted that "the ear-bleeding opener, a rendition of Lightnin' Hopkins' 'Viet Nam War Blues', sounds like the second Velvets effort if Lou Reed had studied under Hasil Adkins instead of Delmore Schwartz." Joe Warminsky, of The Morning Call, listed Soul Food as the third best album of 1995.
