The album received positive reviews. Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout stated that "while the band doesn't change up their formula any, they do however, execute it to perfection" and that "there are some spiritual overtones interspersed, but Paul McCoy focuses much more on maintaining an overall positive message in his lyrics." ^[3] Daniel Höhr of KNAC.com reviewed the album and he stated "There are definitely fillers amongst the fourteen tracks on Picture Perfect, so less would certainly be more in this case." ^[5]
