Joshua Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review opined that "This project though is lyrically near-flawless and extremely encouraging, and Pat definitely deserves kudos for delivering a debut album that is sure to have people talking. " [14] At CCM Magazine , John Barber commented "You can come for the huge songs, but it’s the quiet ones that will leave you speechless. Pat Barrett is the kind of record that will find its way into your earbuds and stay there for a long time. There are depths to mine on this album and the journey is incredibly rewarding." [15] Reviewing for Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings concluded that Pat Barrett is a "top rate album." [16] NewReleaseToday's Jasmin Patterson wrote a positive review of the album, saying: "There is so much to love about Pat Barret's solo debut. True to his style as a worship leader, when Pat opens his heart in prayer and praise to God, it draws you in to connect with God and feel comfortable expressing your heart to Him as well." [17] In a favourable review for Eden.co.uk, Aaron Lewendon wrote "This is an album with a voice. So much worship today is group-led, which is perfect for Churches and worship communities. But there is a lack of the personal, confession, and nakedly honest experiences of Christianity in music today. This album offers something not often seen, not often heard, but often needed." [18]
