All Music Guide calls it "her strongest album in years, rivaling her indie pop breakthrough, Hey Babe" and "arguably her most consistent set of tunes to date, making this not just a pleasant surprise but an album that grows in stature with repeated listens." They conclude with the advice that "listeners who came of age during the alt-rock revolution and were disappointed, even outraged, at Liz Phair's Matrix makeover in 2003 should find In Exile Deo is exactly what they were looking for."
