Matt Conner, giving the album four and a half stars from CCM Magazine , describes, "Grant has released a musical set of songs as outstretched as her reach." [6] Awarding the album four stars at New Release Today, Mikayla Shriver states, "This album is no different, and its raw honesty and polished, current musical style come together to create yet another masterpiece for Natalie." [9] Jonathan Andre, rating the album five stars for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "this is a whirlwind ride for Natalie, but if Be One is any indication, Natalie’s work ought to be treasured in the upcoming weeks and months ahead." [5] Indicating in a four star review by The Christian Beat, Madeleine Dittmer says, "Natalie boldly exhibits passion for putting faith into action through the lyrics in these songs, challenging listeners and drawing them in with impressive, moving musical dynamics and convicting, worshipful lyrics."
