Awarding the album a perfect five-star rating at Jesus Freak Hideout (JFH), David Craft stated, "Truthfully, this album is unmarketable, at least from a traditional standpoint. ... Only a band such as Falling Up could get away with this kind of game-winning Hail Mary." [1]

Christopher Smith, also of JFH, gave the album four and a half stars, writing, "On Falling Up's self-titled final album, lead singer Jessy Ribordy's delicate, emotional vocals are paired with stunningly beautiful and dynamic experimental rock landscapes to create an otherworldly musical experience." [3] Rating the album four and a half stars for New Release Today, Jonathan J. Francesco wrote, "This bittersweet goodbye is a triumphant finale to one of Christian music's true high art bands, and I'm proud to have been a fan." [6]

Scott Fryberger, indicating in a four-and-a-half-star review for JFH, stated, "I can't recommend this album enough." [2] Signaling in a five-star review at JFH, Wayne Reimer recognized that "losing Falling Up is an emotional blow for [him], personally, but they went out in a glorious blaze of flares". [4]

Mark Rice, allocating four and a half stars to the album from JFH, stated, "This is the type of album that you cannot listen to multiple times without noticing something ingenious each time that you had failed to notice before." [5]
