The four star rating awarded by CCM Magazine's Bert Saraco for the "Shimmering guitars, reverb-drenched vocals and the signature wall of fuzz-box sound make this album a delight for long-time fans of The Choir."[3] The four and a half stars rating awarded by Jesus Freak Hideout's Mark Rice, thinking "this impeccably written, melancholy storm of emotion and experience is a poster child for quality."[4] AXS.com Dan Macintosh wrote of the album's sound "is just so beautifully Choir-y, it almost ought to be trademarked. However, this album’s exceptions to Choir-esque sounds are what make it so doggone exceptional."[6] Popdose.com's Dw. Dunphy described his response to the effort as "...a mystery held together with gratitude, especially when the results are albums like Shadow Weaver."[7]
