Production

Soulsinger: The Revival was written and produced by Ledisi and Sundra Manning.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "cool jazzy flavors (including the catchy 'I Wantcha Babe') and sweet floaters ('Take Time' and 'In My Life') balance the more dramatic cuts and provide a comfortable plateau for Ledisi's fluid alto." The San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "One moment sad and sweet, loud and fierce the next, [Ledisi's] music is part down-home lovin' and good advice."
