Awarding the album four stars at Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong states, "Wake Up generally looks to help people find the wonder of God in the gospel message."[4] Tony Cummings, rating the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, says, "So one is left trying to find particular songs that might have the legs to travel to churches beyond North Carolina."[2] Giving the album three stars from CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis writes, "the songs reflect the awe and majesty of the Lord with plenty victorious praises, all of which are admirable qualities, but ones that would come alive all the more had the music steered beyond the typical modern worship mold."[1] Jessica Morris, indicating in a nine and a half out of ten review by Jesus Wired, describes, "Wake Up The Wonder is fresh, compelling, curious and riveting."[3]
