Adeayo Adebiyi, a music reporter for Pulse Nigeria stated that “The range and identity in 'Vibe Till Thy Kingdom Come' provide the balance required to stabilize Seyi Vibez's place in the mainstream while also helping him build a brand that excels on its merit. The quality of music it delivers, the range it offers, and the much-needed balance it achieves make this album an impressive body of work that positions Seyi Vibez for an upper trajectory in the mainstream”.[6] Reviewing for The Native, Dennis Ade Peter stated that “‘Vibe Till Thy Kingdom Come’ is clear in its sentiment that Seyi Vibez believes his success isn’t man-made. Over the sombre piano keys of “Blacka Rhythm,” his faith is underlined by his belief that he’s got angels watching over him. “My sister, my mother, both gone/Oluwaloseyi, mo gba gbo (I believe),” he sings as the song fades into an Isicathamiya sample. It’s the most wistful moment in his catalogue yet, proof that there’s a heart beneath the veneer of his spiritually-backed convictions.”.
