Peacemaker received a score of 80 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.^[1] Mojo stated that "there's a full band, a string section Swarmatron and brass. Reassuringly, the songs are strong enough to carry the new load".^[4] Uncut felt that "Sola can be detached but is at her best when she leans into the songs".^[5]

Exclaim!'s Jordan Currie opined that Sola and Pattengale's intention of "introduc richer sounds and textures" results in "rock, blues, country and folk mingl with dramatic orchestral flares, always guided by Sola's powerful alto", calling it "clear that Peacemaker is a labour of love".^[3] Craig Howieson of Clash wrote that "the fuller orchestration matches the grandeur of her voice well" and "through an exploration of war, bloodspill, loss and confusion Vera Sola has continued to tell her story, and invite us into her arresting world".^[2] John Amen of The Line of Best Fit gave the album a score of 8/10, noting that "Sola concludes Peacemaker much as she launches it, striking a sublime balance between pop know-how and theatrical flair."^[7]
