AllMusic's Matt Collar wrote that Porter "has the kind of warm, enveloping voice that just seems to flow forever" on the album, on which Porter "returns to his original, crossover blend of vintage-inspired soul, jazz, and pop". Collar also felt that the producers add "just the right amount of organic textures and old-school grooves to the singer's already evocative songs". [1] Semassa Boko of PopMatters stated that "while the sounds vary throughout the album, the songs share a lush, soothing, self-assured energy", calling it "an album full of layered production and performances" on which "Porter crafts tender sonic scenes of intimacy". [9] Louder Than War 's Paul Clarke described All Rise as "a joyous, smart mix of jazz, soul and old school gospel" that "proves [Porter] is a skilled songwriter who can tell a story". [11] Rachel McGrath of the Evening Standard concurred, summarizing it as "a reminder of his incredible songwriting ability, as his lyrics boast a depth to match his famous vocals". [3]
Tanis Smither of Hot Press found that "epic, joyous choruses and Porter's distinctive timbre – in turns silky smooth and throaty – are both present in full, resplendent form". [4] Reviewing the album for The Arts Desk , Sebastian Scotney felt that Porter as a songwriter "brings satisfying variety, both emotional and stylistic" and complimented the contributions of the musicians, particularly producer and instrumentalist Troy Miller. [2] Peter Quinn of Jazzwise opined that the "textural palette is pleasingly varied throughout, with a horn section, 10-strong choir plus the London Symphony Orchestra strings all being judiciously brought into play". [6]
All tracks are written by Gregory Porter, except "Revival Song" and "Revival", written by Porter, Troy Miller and Oliver Rockberger.
