Justin Sarachik, writing a positive review for Breathecast, says, "Sound of the Saints fluctuates between spurts of pop, worship, pop punk, and EDM, and is sure to get young people interested in worship and Christian music in general." [14] In a three out of five star review by CCM Magazine , Grace S. Aspinwall describes, "Adam Agee... brings a brighter vocal and a crispy musical feel... [that] producer Seth Mosley has crafted a collection that's got a lot to love." [5] Awarding the album three and a half stars, Sarah Fine from New Release Tuesday writes, "there are several bright spots on this project, and each one speaks volumes to what may be to come from this talented group of underdogs." [13] DeWayne Hamby, reviewing the album for Charisma , writes, "Sound of the Saints is an enjoyable collection of encouragement, praise and inspiration that could be poised to propel the band forward and keep the legacy alive for years to come." [15]
Indicating in an eight out of ten review at Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings says, "there is still much to appreciate" on the album even though Kevin Max has left the band. [9] Jonathan Andre, specifying in a four star review at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, responds, "Whether we see them as Audio Adrenaline or Stellar Kart now, what Adam and the bandmates have done on the album is something remarkable- blending rock, worship, pop, even a bit of punk, to deliver one of the most enjoyable and well-crafted albums of the year so far." [4] Signaling in a three and a half out of five review for Christian Music Review, April Covington describes, "Although Sounds of the Saints has an Audio A feel, the uniqueness and quality doesn't compare with the original." [7] Jon Ownbey, indicating in a three star review for CM Addict, declares, "While the album is good, it's hard to get behind the artists behind the album." [8] Rating the album a 9.8 out of ten at Christ Core, Phillip Noell states, "Sound of the Saints was an excellent album." [6]
Michael Weaver, indicating in a three star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "it's extremely difficult to listen to Sound of the Saints as an Audio A work." [10] Signaling in a two and a half star review at Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks describes, "And with this lose-lose scenario, Sound of the Saints will lack a positive legacy, memorable for none of the right reasons." [11] Bert Gangl, rating the album three stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, says, " its abundance of tepid, generic-sounding pop/worship material falls decidedly short of the funkier and far more engaging fare generated during vocalist Mark Stuart's tenure in the band, rendering the new effort, at best, a pale reflection of the group's far-superior past projects."
