Soul to Soul received mixed reviews, with acclaim for Vaughan’s style and playing, and criticism for a lack of inspiration and Vaughan’s “hit or miss songwriting.”

In 1999, a reissue of the album was released which contains an audio interview segment and studio outtakes. In 2014, Analogue Productions Remaster used the original master tape for the first time since the first CD edition. The lyrics before the guitar solo on "Life Without You" have been restored audibly, whereas on other CD editions since 1999 they had been edited out.
