Critical reception
[edit]Evan Alexander from The Blurb said; "Dripping with the energy and soul of a Pentecostal church service, a sizzling live band and of course, two powerhouse vocalists make this album an extremely valid one. The songs are holy ones, Jesus is the predominant theme, but by no means should that scare anyone off, there’s enough sheer oomph here to please the most devout heathens and churchgoers will have it on automatic repeat."[5]
Waterfront Records said; "After numerous requests to record a Gospel album, the girls deliver an inspiring collection of traditional Gospel greats that ignite passion and send your spirits soaring."[6]
