Critic David Jeffries said for AllMusic that the album is "An instant classic released out of order. Rasta Got Soul could have been Buju Banton's 2004 album if an arrest for ganja possession hadn't sent the singer into exile" ending his positive review saying "Beyond recommended, this one is vital".[2]
