Everything's not supposed to sound the same, you want it to reflect change and growth.' Track listing Welch has said in response that 'on some level, it should be a departure from other albums. Pitchfork described it as 'a tad raptureless' and others were displeased with the fuller, multi-instrument sound. However, some have expressed disappointment in the album. Soul Journey makes it equally hard to tell where the past ended and the present began, or remember why anybody ever thought there was a difference.'

Upon the vinyl re-release in 2018 Relix said the album contained 'some of their most indelible songs. Loss and loneliness are her closest friends' Welch has refined her bare and beautiful songs and on Soul Journey embraces the blues. The Guardian said of her work ' strips country back to its spiritual and storytelling roots. Several outlets, including Mojo called it 'perfect', with reviewers praising the wistful tone and instrumentation of the album. Soul Journey received generally favorable reviews. Welch has described the album as 'more spontaneous' than some of her previous works.

The album was something of a departure from previous albums by Welch and Rawlings in terms of instrumentation, including a larger band and instruments like drums and an electric bass. As with all of her previous releases, it is a collaboration with David Rawlings. Soul Journey is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Gillian Welch.
