In a positive review for the Journal of Gospel Music, Robert Marovich said "The act of remembrance implicit in singing Kirk Franklin catalog songs is the troupe's way of reminding listeners that the inmates, like the songs, must not be forgotten." [37] Joshua Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review opined that "as a whole, this is a near-flawless, powerful, and well-constructed album, with the concept of going into the prisons and recording live in the prisons, being inspiring, impacting, confronting, and encouraging. Kingdom Book One isn't a sanitised album. But it doesn't have to be. Maverick City Music's goal is to win souls for Jesus- and I think they might have done that with this release. A stellar album and a project that will be timeless, Kirk needs to be congratulated, as do everyone else involved." [36] Reviewing for Others Magazine, Jared Proellocks wrote: "This is not necessarily an album of songs to be replicated in a congregational worship setting but a vulnerable declaration of praise and love to God."
