Production

The cover of "You've Got a Friend" is a duet with Billy Preston. Green also covered the Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". A gospel choir backed Green on "The 23rd Psalm" and "Yield Not to Temptation".

Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune deemed Soul Survivor "an album of richly moving and vibrant singing." The Gazette wrote that "it's nice to feel the power of [Green's] healing voice in real material again." The Globe and Mail called the album "a quixotic mixture [that] in every way reflects the rather schizophrenic nature of Green himself." The Dallas Morning News praised the "secular/funk texture" of the title track.
