Awarding the album three and a half stars, Tony D. Bryant from HM Magazine stated, "Beyond Measure is full of adrenaline-pumping lyrics and circle pits... with guitars, drums and vocals all blending to a hard, fast and full-of-emotion album. There is no sitting still while listening to this album." [3] Mark Sherwood, rating the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, wrote, "A tad repetitive and unadventurous but Beyond Measure definitely has its moments." [2] Giving the album three and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger wrote, "it's an enjoyable album." [5] Lee Brown, awarding the album three stars by Indie Vision Music, said, "the album is filled with brutality that is skillfully executed and bleeds deeply... Putting its brevity aside, Beyond Measure has some solid musicianship and some fantastic guest appearances." [4]
