Critical reception

Jacob Uitti writing for American Songwriter said the singles "Freedom" and "Every Little Moment" that were included on Jude were "poignant", offering "emotional aid in a difficult global time, as much as they give assistance to those experiencing difficult personal times internally."^[8]

For Spin, Liza Lentini praised Jude as a moving album that looks back in the name of progress.^[3]

Goldmine wrote about the release, "With his new album, the first in 11 years, Julian advances his body of work that has always simultaneously explored personal and global themes, but for the first time in his life, he's embracing his inner status as someone's son...[an] introspective masterwork from a diversely talented artist."^[9]
