Ian Martin from Cross Rhythms wrote that T57 was "definitely worth the wait." He found that the album "boasts production by some of the industry's finest, allowing for a sound comparable to the top R&B artists of today. However, their sound has a distinct power and soul, due not only to the quality of the music, but the extent to which each member has poured out their experience onto the record." [2] AllMusic wrote: Trin-I-Tee 5:7 have always skillfully bridged the worlds of gospel and mainstream contemporary R&B by applying their slinky, TLC-like sound to messages of Christian faith. T57 is their most successful synthesis of the two genres to date. [It] has all the polish and glamour of most radio-tailored R&B." [3] In her review of the deluxe edition of the album, SoulTracks editor Melody Charles noted: "The talent of Trin-i-tee 5:7 is always worthy, but the word "deluxe" implies much, much more than what this final product demonstrates." [4]
The album has won two Dove Awards. The group won an award for Urban Album of the Year and Urban Recorded Song of The Year for the song "Listen" at the 39th GMA Dove Awards. [5] The group was also nominated for a Grammy Award. [6] In 2008, T57 earned the group a nomination for BET Award featuring the category of Best Gospel Artist.
T57 debuted at number 102 on US Billboard 200. It also reached number two on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums, number five on the Top Christian Albums, and number 12 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. [7] In 2008, T57 became certified platinum selling over one million copies worldwide. The album spent over 73 weeks on the Top Gospel charts. [8] "Listen" was released as the album's lead single and charted #1 on the gospel radio charts and #89 on Hot R&B charts. In early 2008, "I Will Lift" was released as the album's second single. "Get Away" was released as the lead single of the deluxe edition. "Get Away" charted at #3 on gospel radio charts. In December 2008, the cover song known as "Soul Is Anchored" was released as the album's fourth single.
