Spilligion received generally positive reviews.
Rolling Stone writer Grant Ridner described the album as "an album filled equally with uplifting, soulful melodies and contemplative bars about day-to-day reality in 2020. It comes as close as any album made in quarantine to capturing the messiness of this chaotic, bleak year." He continued to write that the album sounds like "what you might imagine happens when seven distinct voices share a space and lean on one another to process the events of an uncertain world." Aaron Williams of
Uproxx said the album "draws from across Americana, especially Black traditions like jazz and gospel, fusing them with folksy banjo and out-of-tune pianos to suggest simpler times and echo the sentimental rhapsodizing of the group's members." He continued to say "
Spilligion is richer, more expansive, and more surprising than its predecessor." Fred Thomas of
AllMusic said the album "is a boundless synthesis of styles and ideas that never gets too serious. Even at an uncommonly high level of social commentary, intricate production, and risk-taking songwriting choices, the songs remain warm, listenable, and communicative." Writing for
Pitchfork, Pete Tosiello said the style is "reminiscent of
Goodie Mob,
OutKast, and blues" saying, "Spillage Village seems to understand what makes
Dungeon Family transcendent, that their essence can't be condensed to a vibe." He continued to write "
Spilligion is a polished record full of rumbling basslines, posse cuts, and gospel interludes, with songs assuming loose themes of love, faith, family, and weed."
