In a positive review from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre lauded We the Kingdom for being "extremely good" on their debut project, and remarked the band "is probably the most energetic band since Rend Collective." [9] Hallels' Timothy Yap gave a negative review of the EP, acknowledging that the band "straddled the tacit divide between raw expressions of worship and the polished stadium-filling explosions of praise well," but described some songs on the EP as being lyrically ambiguous.
