Critical reception

Joshua Andre, reviewing for 365 Days of Inspiring Media review, wrote a positive review of the song, saying: "I have high hopes for any Phil Wickham song, but sadly, this melody isn’t up to my lofty standards. That's not to say it's not good, this melody is still enjoyable and catchy. But it's not near-flawless like every other Phil Wickham song." Writing for Air1, Scott Savage opined "The song certainly makes you want to move and the tone is intended to bring joy and vibrancy when listened to or sung in a group. Beyond good vibes, the song intends to remind listeners of what Jesus has done for us and what we’ve received from Him in our salvation."
