Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 75 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 6 reviews.
  
  James Christopher Monger from AllMusic explained: "Magic Ship delivers a listening experience that's akin to eavesdropping. So unadorned are these largely a cappella songs, both on the production and execution side of the sonic equation, that it feels a bit like somebody stuck a microphone through a cracked door and caught Sarle, Sauser-Monnig, and Meath unaware."
