Reception Billboard said: "Rock stations aren't the only ones totally asleep at the wheel on this one. 'Broken Hearted Soul' should be spinning alongside Daughtry, Hinder, and Nickelback at top 40."Billboard review
TuneLabMusic said: "'Broken Hearted Soul' busts out in a frolic, setting a happy-go-lucky vibe that Ra needed to prove they have been able to slay the wraiths of the past and move forward triumphantly. As the leadoff batter and first piece of radio matter from 'Black Sun', the consistent oomph of 'Broken Hearted Soul' proves clutch."TuneLabMusic: Black Sun Review
WGLI-FM, the Rockin' Eagle' said: "This song is also kind of one of a kind; I like how the band mixes it up with it being slow at first then hitting it hard during the verses and the chorus."
