Signaling in a three and a half star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, Alex Caldwell recognizes, "With a few mis-steps aside, Diamonds serves up a meal that is hearty, well made and worth your time to hear." Sarah Fine, indicating in a three and a half star review from New Release Tuesday, realizes, "what Diamonds lacks in diversity, it more than makes up for in heart, and at the end of the day, that's what this band has always been about." Awarding the album an eight out of ten for Cross Rhythms, Philip Laing states, "In 'Diamonds' we hear Steingard leading Hawk Nelson into a new season of pop and rock genre crossing."
Specifying in a four star review from CCM Magazine, Matt Conner reports, "Music fans of all ages just being introduced to the band affectionately known as Hawk will find Diamonds as an extremely easy entry point, while its pop sensibilities yet sophisticated song crafting will appeal to their lifelong fans. Hedge your bets on Diamonds to be among the year's bigger successes." Ben Rickaby, mentioning in a three and a half star review for HM Magazine, responds, "While the album may be a little too radio friendly for my taste it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an amazingly positive and fun album to listen to." Giving the album four stars at About.com, Kim Jones states, "Diamonds has a joy that is contagious."
Brianne Bellomy, awarding the album three stars for CMA Addict, writes, "this album for me isn't just quite there yet." Rating the album a 2.5 out of five at Christian Music Review, April Covington says, "artistic development a little lacking." Writing a review for Christian Review Magazine, Leah St. John rating the album five stars, states, "Diamonds is [a] fantastic album". Stephanie Crail, giving the album eight and a half stars at Jesus Wired, describes, "this record is very successful at reminding believers of our purpose and challenging us to live boldly."
