Tell My Sister received generally favorable reviews from critics. Andrew Hultkrans of Spin wrote that "The McGarrigles’ songs are deceptively simple, but their inventive arrangements, unpredictable harmonizing, and hints of chanson reveal an eccentric genius."[6] Another favorable review of the album was written by AllMusic's Mark Deming, who gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. In his review of the album, Deming wrote that it was "a superb tribute to the McGarrigle Sisters' formative years," adding that "while this was doubtless created with serious fans in mind, there are few better introductions to the magic they created than the music included here."[2]
