Dawno's Music and Book Reviews on New Release Tuesday described Glory as "worth repeated listens" and that the album is "contemplative, majestic, somber, romantic, joyful, and playful." [2] Lindsay Williams from watchgmctv.com wrote that Glory was "as sentimental as it is patriotic and boasts a collection of instrumental soundscapes that honor family, God and country." [7]
