A well-rounded album overall, Ryan has crafted a successful first full length effort with his work here.

[5] Rating the album four and a half stars for The Christian Beat, Herb Longs says, "This album is a perfect example of what can transpire when powerful lyrics meet a passionate voice and excellent production." [3] Joshua Andre, indicating in a three and a half star review by 365 Days of Inspiring Media, describes, "Fresh Start by Ryan Stevenson isn't perfect, as there are a couple of tracks that are a bit misplaced, either lyrically or musically."
