Edwin Ortiz of HipHopDX commented that "[Heroes in the Healing of the Nation] invokes a general ambience of positivity that you'll rarely find these days." Meanwhile, Will Georgi of Okayplayer said, "[the] sanctimonious vibe just makes me feel like a difficult teenager and want to do anything but listen to Zion I & The Grouch."

Zion I and The Grouch kicked off their national tour for Heroes in the Healing of the Nation on May 19 in San Francisco at the Fillmore. The tour is a testament to the lessons and messages Zion I and The Grouch address in their album—with each stop of the tour having a different local charity attached to it. Full information on the tour can be found at their tour homepage . Zion I and The Grouch have been joined by artists from all over the nation on their tour including Blu, One Be Lo, Aceyalone, Rapper Big Pooh, The Jacka, Mistah FAB, and many more guests along the way from the Bay Area to New York and back again.
