[3] Giving the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Steven Powless describes, "with The King Is Coming, they have firmly established themselves among Facedown's best and show nothing but promise; forgive the wordplay, but this blistering, Spirit-filled band may just be their label's Saving Grace." [6] Jeremiah Holdworth, awarding the album four stars from Indie Vision Music, states, "Songs range from amazing, to great, with a couple that fall short, including a boring instrumental ... Great music and messages equals a great album!"
