AllMusic[6]
BillboardPositive[7]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album a positive review, although he said: "It's easy to knock this for not exactly being compelling—it glides, it doesn't grab—but that's the whole point: this is meditative mood music and it's gauzily effective in that regard in either of its incarnations".[6]

In their review, Billboard stated that "Grace and Gratitude has a purpose - the long-lived artist's belief that music can boost the body's healing processes...Newton-John puts her spin on diverse influences, from Tibetan chants and Islamic prayers to a Latin benediction. Not exactly "Heart Attack" or "Physical," huh? Newton-John is soulfully committed to every word she sings, and fans will be taken by the plush arrangements, melodic warmth and, of course, the artist's regal vocals." [8]
