Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune gave a 3 out of 4 stars rating saying "The emphasis here is on lavishly produced, uptempo contemporary gospel songs with an unabashedly slick, pop feel-you could even dance to a lot of them. Bailey`s silky, seductive falsetto is as appealing as ever, and the mood is joyfully uplifting throughout."[3] With a 4 out of 5 stars rating William Rhulmann of Allmusic wrote "Bailey brings the same creamy pop production and warm falsetto singing to his inspirational work that he does to his solo albums and to Earth, Wind & Fire, although he is far gentler here (except when he's being religiously righteous on "Call To War")."[2]
