Kory Grow writing for the Rolling Stone stated, "The reason Angels & Ghosts works, though, is because Gahan and Soulsavers sound like a band... Gahan has always sounded like a complex individual with Depeche Mode, but on this set, he sounds set free."[12] Alan Corr of RTÉ.ie mentioned, "Now a well-preserved 53, Dave Gahan has travelled a long way from his '90s nickname “The Cat”. He earned that sobriquet for his talent for cheating death but these days he channels his classic rock'n'roll story into brooding songs of redemption and rebirth."[13] Jon Dennis in his review for The Guardian observed, "Gone are Depeche Mode’s shiny synths of yore: Angels & Ghosts’ default position is the doom-laden, mid-paced ballad. Gahan sings with unsparing emotional commitment against Soulsavers’ canvas of gospel-tinged backing vocals, ghostly organ and big minor chords."[6] Lily Moayeri of Under the Radar added, "Once again, Gahan has turned himself inside out on these songs. He laments and beseeches by turns, giving Angels and Ghosts a gospel bent, which is enhanced by choir-like backing vocals. Organs further this spiritual aspect with their quaking tones..."[14]
