Andy Argyrakis, indicating in a four star review at CCM Magazine , says, "Naturally, the project is also packed with its fair share of thought-provoking originals (most notably “Love Is Here”), alongside guest artists Steven Curtis Chapman and Brandon Heath, both of whom further enhance this beautiful, sometimes grand batch of timeless pop swaddled in a charming seasonal."
