Adeayo Adebiyi, a music reporter for Pulse Nigeria stated that “With ‘Thy Kingdom Come’, Seyi Vibez thumps his chest while maintaining a resolution to make music that retains the core elements of his identity. The result is an album that achieves a musical depth that surpasses his previous efforts”.[5] Reviewing for MoreBranches, Patrick Ezema stated that “His lyrics betray, brave as he may try to be, the pain of his loss, but his emptiness is better felt in the things left unsaid; spaces in the album where there should be chaotic log drums, he fills with more morose horns. A similar cloud overshadowed Vibe Till Thy Kingdom Come, but on Thy Kingdom Come the first signs of healing appear over his wounds, as he contends with the finality of loss”.[6]
