Awarding the album four stars at CCM Magazine , Grace Aspinwall writes, "With its refreshing, clean and clear sound, Banner succeeds in all aspects: vocals, musicality and arrangements." [3] Barry Westman, giving the album four and a half star from Worship Leader, states, "Banner, an album of epic proportions". [6] Indicating in a three and a half star review for New Release Today, Sarah Fine says, "What Banner lacks in musical originality, it more than makes up for in spiritual substance." [5] Matt McChlery, rating the album an eight out of ten at Cross Rhythms, describes, "This is a great album that contains numerous singable songs". [4] Signaling in a four star review from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre responds, "With worship ballads and pop radio tunes alike, Banner is a smorgasbord of a worship leader's dream of diversity".
