Critical reception
edit
Rodney Batdorf of AllMusic wrote "Although it might not be as ambitious as some of her other '90s records, 'Artist of My Soul' is a typically fine record from Sandi Patty that expertly showcases her smooth voice, her easy way with a melody, and her boundless spiritual faith."
Mike Rimmer of Cross Rhythms rated Artist of My Soul 8 out of 10 writing that the album is "definitely inspiring, well produced with some excellent songs and if you like your pop music easy on the ear, this is for you." Rimmer also pointed out that the "poppy gospel flavourings of 'You Alone' and the gentle wonder of 'Speechless' are high points."
