Jon O' Brien of Allmusic gave the album a 3 out of 5 stars rating saying "Broadway Stories' concept may be nothing new, but its sweeping orchestral arrangements, diverse material, and Patty's warm vocals ensure that it's one of the classier musical theater-based releases of the year."[3] With a 4 out of 5 stars rating Andrew Greer of Christianity Today proclaimed "Recorded in Prague with a dreamy orchestra, Patty's illustrious power pipes perfectly master the challenging repertoire. But the five-time Grammy winner is more than a skilled technician. She is a heartfelt storyteller, making Sandi and Stories a winning combo."[5]
