[3] Timothy Monger of AllMusic described Good Luck, Seeker as an "eclectic jumble of wily mysticism, rock & roll romance, oddball tributes, and canned dance beats".

"[6] Wyndham Wallace of Uncut described Good Luck, Seeker as "an album of passion, wit and spirituality that, like its title, invites us not only to evolve, but to revel in our evolution".

[8] Andy Fyfe of Mojo concluded: Good Luck, Seeker may not be the absolute best of Mike Scott's best, but it's well within touching distance.

"[7] Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter praised the album's first half of "compact, tight and focused songs" which have a "surprisingly organic, classy and often invigorating effect".

[4] Eamon Sweeney of The Irish Times described the first half as a "reasonably conventional hybrid of pop, jazz, folk and rock", but felt the second part will "test some listeners, who will hail it as genius or doggerel, depending on where you stand with the Waterboys in the first place".
