[4] Kevin Hoskins, rating the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "Spoken has not disappointed." [6] Giving the album four stars from New Release Today, Mary Nikkel states, "With Breathe Again, Spoken proves themselves to be on the cutting edge of the best elements of hard rock: haunting combinations of guitar tones and electronic elements, smooth vocals sending melodies soaring and lyrics that are as honest as they are ultimately redemptive." [8] Michael Weaver, indicating in a four star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "Matt Baird has done just that with Spoken as Illusion and Breathe Again are quite possible the band's best work. Folks should be jamming Spoken's latest album for some time to come." [5] Signaling in a 4.8 out of five review at The Christian Beat, Chris Major writes, "The album’s tracks range from higher energy to calmer motion, yet all are brilliantly orchestrated. Listening even a few songs in, it is clear that Spoken has released their best work yet."

[7] Allocating the album a 4.3 star review at Anchor Music News, Rob Clark writes, "This is an album which heralds a band coming back with more energy and passion...The vocals, instrumentation, and vocals stand out."
