Reviewing the album from Country Weekly, David Guy replies, "For the gospel and contemporary Christian fan, this album will be uplifting and a welcome addition to the catalog of a prolific artist."[5] Mark Rice writes, "the album is a joy to listen to".[2] John DiBiase describes, "Deep Roots is a wonderful, under-the-radar release that gets back to the basics in a refreshing way; it's a palette-cleanser for today's often overly busy music and a great tool for intimate worship. Don't miss it."[3] Dawn Theresa states, "Deep Roots is more than just another hymns record – it's an artist reconnecting with his past and reminding us that hope and light are found in a deep-rooted faith."[4] Jonathan Andre says, "A great purchase if you thoroughly enjoy the acoustic and bluegrass genre, this album is a great divergence from Steven, as he branches out into some new music. Well done Steven for a different, yet equally profound and welcoming album!"[1]
