Andrew Lapin of NPR gave the film a positive review and wrote, "That's why, for everything "Gospel" leaves out, it's at least nice to see a film that does for (Talley) what he's been doing for designers and celebrities for years: Cheering him on."
Andrew Barker of "Variety" also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "At times hesitant to press Talley on some uncomfortable but important aspects of his life, the film amounts to essentially a long, intimate brunch conversation with its inimitable subject, and for those with even a passing interest in fashion, that should be plenty."
Frank Scheck of "The Hollywood Reporter" also gave the film a positive review and wrote, ""The Gospel According to Andre" should prove catnip for fashion buffs."
