ATLast garnered praise from the ratings and reviews of six music critics. Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms rated the album a perfect ten squares, writing that "Alex said in an interview recently, 'Everyone goes through life trying to get somewhere. This destination we all have to arrive at is always and ultimately going to be at the feet of Jesus'", which the release "makes this point crystal clear".[3] At Rapzilla, Nyon Smith rated the album three-and-a-half stars, stating that "ATLast is a standout in CHH, but after a while I began to feel that this should be the norm rather than the exception if the genre is to progress in its search for mainstream assimilation."[6] Kevin Hoskins of Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album three-and-a-half stars, saying that "there are more positives than negatives to ATLast, so most will enjoy spinning this."[4] At New Release Tuesday, Mark Ryan rated the album four stars, writing that he was "impressed" on a release which "is complete in every sense of the word."[5] Anthony Peronto of Christian Music Zine rated the album four-and-a-half stars, stating that this is "authentic, honest, and creative hip hop and Alex Faith has delivered that substantially with ATLast."[2] At The Christian Manifesto, Michael Wildes rated the album four stars, saying that "this is a solid release from Alex Faith and Collision Records on a whole."[1]
