In June 2006 Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms rated the album as 8 out of 10 and declared it composed "almost entirely of mid tempo and slow songs and with arrangements that are low key and reverential perfectly suited to music associated with the Lord's Supper".[4] Also that month CCM Magazine rated it as 8 out of 10 and advised listeners to "relax and close your eyes, and let the waves of prayerful reverence wash your spirit clean".[2]
