Writing for WXPN's The Key website in December 2020, Emily Herbein applauded VOYAGE-19 as a testament to the will power of musicians during 2020 and the beauty of their connectivity under the circumstances, citing it as among the year's best quarantine collaborations. "The result has been stunning projects like these that showcase versatility, uncharted musicality, and the drive to not give up in the face of this huge adversity", she wrote, expressing gratitude for how such music "adeptly represents this incredibly weird moment in time". A. D. Amorosi, in a January 2021 column for Dosage Magazine, made note of the project's "riveting, pleading musicality" and recommended it in a selection of Philadelphia-based soul music for listeners celebrating the inauguration of Joe Biden as the president of the United States and healing from the strange, transitional period in the country.
