David Jeffries, giving the album four stars from AllMusic states, "with the live set running just under 80 minutes with every epic allowed plenty of room to stretch, this is Elevation's best to date, winning in both the categories of quality and quantity." [1] Awarding the album three stars at Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong, describes, "the most consistent, high quality, congregational music in the American sonic landscape." [4] Dawn Teresa, rating the album three and a half stars by New Release Today says, "With Only King Forever, Elevation Worship presents a packed-full record... Elevation Worship ultimately falls just short of lifting off." [3] In a four and a half star review in Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies writes, "most importantly, this release leads you to Jesus."
