Awarding the album three and a half stars for CCM Magazine, Kevin Sparkman writes, Restore Me "offers a collection of songs built on the foundations of hope, faith, and strength found in Jesus."[1] Amanda Brogan-DeWilde, giving the album three stars at New Release Today, states, "Restore Me is an album that brings rest to a weary heart and calms a tired soul."[5] Rating the album four stars from The Journal of Gospel Music, Bob Marovich describes, "Restore Me delivers praise, prayer, and gentle reassurance in bite-size chunks of ear candy."[4] Laura Chambers, indicating in a three and a half star review by Christian Music Review, says, "Restore Me weaves the themes of trust and surrender throughout, producing an honest and devoted voice that single-mindedly points us towards greater things."[2] Reviewing the album for Soul-Audio, Andrew Greenhalgh replies, "Restore Me, doesn’t break stride with her path, as she continues to offer up a solid vocal delivery around radio friendly adult contemporary arrangements."[6] Andrew Wallace, rating the album a six out of ten at Cross Rhythms, recognizes, "Perhaps next time out it would be an idea to take more risks both musically and vocally."[3]
