The album was met with positive reviews from critics and blogs.

  • Soultracks - Positive - "Blessed with some of the most powerful of pipes in her generation, Kelly Price is a singer and songwriter who has combined equal measure of gospel fervor and relatable authenticity since her 1998 debut (Soul of a Woman). No matter what medium she's delivering in live or Memorex the clarity and conviction poured into Kelly's performances are enough to make the listener want to run down an aisle ("He Proposed"), shout His praises ("This Is Who I Am") or throw a temper tantrum ("Tired") all at the same time, which is why Sing Pray Love, Vol. 1: Sing is such an appropriate title for her seventh studio release.[2]
  • Examiner - 4 out of 5 - "In three words, Kelly Price has managed to describe her life and music. Sing, Pray, Love is the completion of Kelly as a woman, mother, writer, friend and singer. Of course, there will be more singing, more praying and more loving since this album is part of a three-volume series but for now, enjoy the ride of Sing Pray Love Vol 1: SING.
  • AllMusic - 4.5 out of 5 - Another stellar vocal performance for Miss Kelly throughout the album, all love to the great Shep Crawford for producing such a well put together album and to the musicians credited.
