has not much considered the album "spiritual" but rather "the most perfectly plotted single piece of jazz ever recorded". A Love Supreme has appeared frequently on professional listings of the greatest albums. In 2003, it was ranked number 47 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 greatest albums of all time; maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list, re-ranking at number 66 in a 2020 reboot of the list. NME ranked it number 188 on a similar list ten years later. The manuscript for the album was included in the National Museum of American History's "Treasures of American History" collection at the Smithsonian Institution. In 2015, the album was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance."

"I love the combination of abstract piano that's all sort of 'clang', and weird chords with wailing saxophone over the top." In The Penguin Guide to Jazz, Richard Cook and Brian Morton gave A Love Supreme a rare "crown" rating but asked whether it was "the greatest jazz album of the modern period..or the most overrated?" Miles Davis, Coltrane's former bandleader, said the record "reached out and influenced those people who were into peace. Hippies and people like that".
