Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming called the album; "a deeply introspective set of songs, with a keenly spiritual undertow running through these meditations on love, nature, and humanity. Not as cohesive as The Salvation Blues, Many Colored Kites is still a worthy and brave album that finds Mark Olson continuing to find new ways of sharing what life has taught him through his music."[1]
