Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote: "Typical is the catchy lead-off track, David Thomas's 'Come On', which boasts the finger-snapping swing and nicely spread harmonies of a Manhattan Transfer number even as it proselytizes for God." [6]

AllMusic wrote that "the group get back to their roots both musically and spiritually, delivering straightforward inspirational tunes with nothing but their truly remarkable voices." [1]
