Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Pitchfork said the song shows "Beyoncé as an SSRI [antidepressant]" and that Beyoncé is "acknowledging the predicament in which many of her non-zillionaire listeners find themselves."[3]

On August 8, 2022, Billboard announced that "Break My Soul" was at the top of the Hot 100 for the week ending August 13. It is Beyoncé's eighth US solo chart-topper (twelfth when counted as a member of Destiny's Child).[4][5] The song spent two weeks at number one.[6]
