Awarding the album three stars for AllMusic, Steve Huey writes, "With each successive album, Grits continue to improve their production, arranging, and rhyming skills; Grammatical Revolution is their most accomplished recording yet, and does the most effective job of getting the duo's spiritual message across." Mike Rimmer, giving the album a ten from Cross Rhythms, states, "Judging from the band's performance on this album, Christian hip hop has the chops to take on the world. This is as good as anything out there! Be inspired and join the grammatical revolution!" Rating the album three stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins says, "Grits put out a very solid album."
