All Sons & Daughters was met with positive reviews from critics. The three-star rating awarded by CCM Magazine's Grace S. Aspinwall was reasoned out of a belief "While very pretty, the folksy, airy worship style feels a bit tired on this self-titled project from All Sons and Daughters." [2] At Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong rated the album five stars, stating that "As a break in the maddening rush of pulsing music and even more so as a worship oriented music offering with stunning quality of lyric and melody, All Sons & Daughters is a wonderful achievement and a gift to the Church." [10] Mark D. Geil of Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album four-and-a-half out of five, remarking that "All Sons & Daughters is an excellent collection of songs." [7] Jesus Freak Hideout's Mark Rice rated the album four stars, observing how "this is a musically, not lyrically, driven record, both enhancing the record as a work of art and (in this reviewer's opinion) as an act of worship." [8] At New Release Tuesday, Kevin Davis rated the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that the release is "fresh, deep, introspective" because it offers up "a very emotional album, loaded with hook-filled vertical expressions with catchy melodies wrapped around introspective, worshipful and emotional lyrics." [9] Jonathan Andre of Indie Vision Music rated the album four out of five stars, remarking how "the band has taken modern worship music and stretched it, placing it on its head to remind listeners that worship music can still be fun and enjoyable, unique and different, compelling, emotive and encouraging all at once." [5] Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies rated the album a perfect five stars, writing that "the beauty of this album is instant." [6] At CM Addict, Kelcey Wixtrom rated the album four out of five stars, saying that this "is a cohesive album that offers a unique worship experience focusing on simplicity." [4] Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media rated the album four-and-a-half stars, indicating how the duo are "Redefining worship music, and adding their own creative spin and flair, reminding us that vertical worship music to God can indeed be creative, unique and different, while at the same time reflective, contemplative, and inspiring to listeners." [1] In addition, Andre says "there is hardly any flaws!" [1] At Christian Music Review, Amanda Brogan rated the album three stars out of five, remarking how this release will cause "praise [to] flow forth." [3]
