In his review for Allmusic, David Jeffries rated the album three and a half out of five stars. He called the album "in true Thomas fashion, a mixed bag." Comparing it to his previous efforts, Jeffries found that Conquer was more aware of Thomas's "strengths than any release since his debut [...] Material-starved fans craving his rich, warm, and velvety delivery should ignore all these minor complaints and plunder at will."[2]
