Critical reception
editReviews of the album were positive. Today's Christian Music, powered by CCM Magazine, praised the album's music style, and for "venturing into introspective lyrical territory, which is further traced throughout her companion book of the same name."[2] In Christianity Today, Andrew Greer wrote that "Aside from two classically-based tracks, Chance Scoggins (Addison Road, Mandisa) produces a surprisingly hip musical aura for the living legend Sandi Patty, proving that Patty's still versatile and relevant even after thirty years in the biz."[1]
