Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and 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".

Birthright was selected as the Blues Album of the Year in the 2005 Down Beat Readers' Poll.
