Reception

Critical response

Jonathan Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media described the song in his review as "a song that ticks all the right boxes. It has soaring harmonies and a great melodic hook. It has Darren's trademark Irish accent coming through in the song, as well as the song itself being one of triumphing over whatever comes our way." [10] Andre however, noted that the song was not as catchy nor as memorable as "Everything Comes Alive" or "Maybe It's Ok". [10] Jesus Freak Hideout's Joel Zaloum noted that "there's a certain conviction in Mulligan's voice and writing, as of someone who isn't just checking off boxes or using 'Christianese,' but one who's experienced God's forgiveness personally" which made the track "immensely powerful." [11] Kelly Meade in her Today's Christian Entertainment's review, said the song is "a faith-filled anthem declaring a trust in the steadiness of Jesus through everything we face in life." [12]
