Critical reception

AllMusic editor Steve Huey rated the album three ouf of five stars. He felt that Spiritual Love "features a number of fine moments that equal the best of their debut; the juxtaposition of sexy, slinky, urban R&B grooves with non-secular subject matter still seems a bit odd – form not matching up with content – but Christian music fans will be happy to have a sound they enjoy with the messages they respect." Mike Rimmer from Cross Rhythms wrote: "Here's an album that's full of soulful sounds and hot licks. There's also plenty of talent making guest appearances as Tramaine Hawkins and Crystal Lewis add their mighty vocals to the proceedings." Billboard critic Michael Paoletta felt that the "threesome's sophomore effort builds on its smash debut with a diverse but totally cohesive set that highlights the group's range and command of multiple genres.[1]

The album reached number one on the US Top Gospel Albums and number five on the Top Christian Albums. It also peaked at number 41 on Billboards Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 174 on the Billboard 200.[2]
