Timothy Yap, reviewing for JubileeCast, gave a favourable review of the album, saying: "Old Church Basement, as the title suggests, isn't an exercise of glamor and applause. Rather, it's worship music that is personal, biblical, and heartfelt."[19] Yap noted however, that the track length of the songs and them being mostly ballads were the major weaknesses of the record, opining that the listening experience "can be on the taxing and tedious side."[19]
