In its original review, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' opined: "It should be obvious by now that Creedence Clearwater Revival is one great rock and roll band. ''Cosmo's Factory'', the group's fifth album, is another good reason why."

[[AllMusic]] states: "On 'Long as I Can See the Light', the record's final song, he again finds solace in home, anchored by a soulful, laid-back groove. It hits a comforting, elegiac note, the perfect way to draw ''Cosmo's Factory'' – an album made during stress and chaos, filled with raging rockers, covers, and intense jams – to a close." An editorial review from [[Amazon.com]] calls the album "the peak of a prolific streak."<ref>{{cite web|title=Cosmo's Factory|url=https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Factory-Creedence-Clearwater-Revival/dp/B001AKTZOQ|website=Amazon|access-date=July 18, 2017|date=September 30, 2008|archive-date=November 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161118120008/https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Factory-Creedence-Clearwater-Revival/dp/B001AKTZOQ|url-status=live}}</ref>
