Jon Azpiri of AllMusic wrote, "Influenced equally by hip-hop and various forms of electronica, Zion I offers listeners a collage of new sounds mixed with ancient spiritualism."[3] Del F. Cowie of Exclaim! called it "a truly invigorating affair."[6]

In 2015, HipHopDX included it on the "30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000" list.[2]
