Music and lyrics

Allmusic's Rovi told that "an easygoing folk-pop sound dominates, the boys still manage to rock it up a bit on songs like the propulsive title track." [1] At Christianity Today , Russ Breimeier noted that "the more striking difference between Psalms and Carry Away, however, is the polished production. Psalms was just earthy enough and rough around the edges to be appealing." [2] In addition, he wrote that "Carry Away is a slight lyrical departure from the strictly scriptural Psalms." [2] Greg Inglis of Cross Rhythms highlighted that the album features "tight instrumentation, passionate vocals and subtle production make this an album which really stands out from the pile." [3]

Carry Away has received mostly positive reviews from the music critics. Rovi of Allmusic told that "unlike some other Christian pop artists, Barnard and Everett don't do anything to disguise their lyrical intentions; every song on CARRY AWAY deals with faith in an earnest and upfront way." [1] At Christianity Today, Russ Breimeier found that "eespite the quiet ending and the increased leanings to pop, Carry Away is a strong worship album of dazzling musicianship and powerful vocalists." [2] Cross Rhythms' Greg Inglis said that the duo "are still relative unknowns but this is sure to change with this release." [3]
