The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated, "Birthright is the album Ulmer should have made years ago. All that matters is that listeners have it now. It's a shining star in his catalog and a chillingly intimate portrait of his expansive vision and singular talent".[2]
Birthright was selected as the Blues Album of the Year in the 2005 DownBeat Readers' Poll.[4]
