Awarding the album three and a half stars for CCM Magazine , Andy Argyrakis states, "[Spoken] continue[s] its fiery, hard-rock groundwork, while exploding with additional diversity and heavy-handed experimentation." [1] Russ Breimeier, giving the album four stars at Christianity Today , writes, "The versatility in sound and style ultimately makes this album the best yet from Spoken—even if the first song isn't their strongest." [2] Rating the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Jeremy Williams describes, "a heavy album that knows when to pause for breath." [3] Lindsay Wiseman, indicating in a four star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "this album delivers in all aspects." [4] Signaling in a review at The Phantom Tollbooth, Ryan Ro criticizes, "Spoken is yet another unnecessary addition to the Tooth & Nail catalogue, a faceless band in a sea of faceless bands, a clone of a clone of a clone. Pass on this one." [5]
