Signaling in a four star out of five review for AllMusic, Andy Kellman replying, at times "Understated yet energized" where "all singles, all distinctive, and compelling." Andy Argyrakis, agrees it is a four star album for CCM Magazine, realizing, it "overflows with velvety vocals and smooth grooves" where it's "split between soulful pop, piano ballads, and the occasional nod to contemporary reggae." Adding a whole star to his rating compared to the aforementioned, New Release Tuesday's Dwayne Lacy commended this music "for the non-cliched songwriting, his amazing singing, and the message."
