Allotting the album a 4.7 star review from Today's Christian Entertainment, Kelly Meade responds, "he brings songs of joy, pain, grace & hope that speak to a vast audience of music listeners [...] Where The Light Gets In features a collection of incredibly well-written songs not only for worship on Sundays, but for day to day life with the recurring theme of turning our brokenness into something beautiful". [8] Jonathan Andre, allocating the album four and a half stars by 365 Days of Inspiring Media, says, "Where the Light Get's [sic] In is a gem of an album no matter how you look at it, and a must-listen for anyone who appreciates poignant and heartfelt music, regardless of the music genre."
