Awarding the album four stars from CCM Magazine , Andy Argyrakis states, "the fully recovered survivor covers themes of testing, surrender, triumph and thanksgiving on a colorful collection that volleys between soulful ballads, rhythmic pop and danceable celebrations, enhanced all the more by cutting edge collaborations with Jonathan Thulin and Chief Wakil." [1] Caitlin Lassiter, giving the album four stars for New Release Today, writes, "Showing off a unique urban and soulful vibe in her music, Sada tells her story in a beautiful way with this album." [4] Rating the album four stars at The Journal of Gospel Music, Bob Marovich says, "Long Story Short provides a reminder for some, and an introduction for others, of a powerfully talented vocalist who can sing just about anything and make it memorable." [3] Philip Liang, indicating in a seven out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, describes, "The lyrics on this album deal with themes like love, happiness and pain while Sada's vocals are consistently strong."
