===Critical response===
Film critic Jeff Vice of the [[Salt Lake City]]-based ''[[Deseret News]]'' awarded ''The Errand of Angels'' two and a half stars in his review of the film. Vice praised the film as being "one of the more earnest and well-intentioned movies in recent memory" while, at the same, faulting it for being "preachy" and "a little talky and a little dry as a result".<ref name="VICE">Vice, Jeff.

Accessed September 17, 2009.</ref> Vice compared ''The Errand of Angels'' to ''[[The Best Two Years]]'' finding them similar in story and structure although believing that the former would be a better had it contained some of the humor and light-heartedness found in the latter.<ref name="VICE"/>
