Andy Argyrakis, specifying in a four star review by CCM Magazine , realizes, "The veteran Ed Cash, one of Heath's lifelong mentors, but surprisingly, a first time production collaborator, also assist with an artsy edge to the acoustic/contemporary pop collection, while Heath's sometimes soulful and always warm vocals add icing to this tasteful declaration of faith." [2] Indicating in a nine out of ten review from Cross Rhythms, Matt McChlery replies, "'No Turning Back' is a glorious celebration of life gone by, experiences and lessons that [mold] people into who they become with songs that are [skillfully] crafted and are a joy to listen to" in heralding the release "an 11-song masterpiece." [5] Sarah Fine, giving a four star by New Release Tuesday, responds, "Brandon Heath is a well of creativity. Though his tried and true formula never grows tiresome, he hits his sweet spot when he pairs vibrant synth elements with his upbeat blend of acoustic pop." [10] She concludes with "While Brandon has never been an artist to shy away from his faith, the bold No Turning Back is noticeably his most spiritually overt effort, with many moments thoughtfully acknowledging God in an intimate setting. This is a big step forward in Brandon Heath's ever-evolving career." [10]
Felicia Abraham, reviewing the album for Charisma , writes, "The result is a breezy, up-tempo vibe on No Turning Back that not only finds Heath fondly recalling the early days of his faith, but also reflecting on major, life-changing experiences along the way...In all, No Turing Back accomplishes an invaluable achievement for albums these days. Listeners will be drawn in by Heath's compelling stories of his experience, yet by the end will be thinking about how God has transformed their own lives." [11] Signaling in a four star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Christopher Smith recognizes, "Heath has always been one of the finest of the Christian radio staples, and No Turning Back will only continue to solidify that status."
