The album received mixed reviews from music critics. It received a three-and-a-half star rating from Todd Sterling of AllMusic, who said that the album was "slickly produced" and that it "sticks to the well-worn formula of the group's previous releases," but said that it had "every color of the musical rainbow."[2] Sterling cited "Your Last" as a standout, calling it a "lump-in-the-throat masterpiece."[2] Jim Malec of The 9513 gave it one star out of five, referring to the song's lyrics as largely cliché in nature and saying, "There is not a single song on Believe worth hearing. It is an entirely disposable album that is unoriginal, uninteresting and unnecessary."[3] Malec also criticized the album's sound, saying that the mixing of instruments and Brad Mates' vocals did not seem cohesive.[3]
