Critical reception

Rob Birtley, allocating the album a nine out of ten review at Cross Rhythms, writes, "The whole release is a roller-coaster of a worship ride. Perfectly paced at each turn to carry you through the devotion behind the music - enjoy the ride, raise your hands if you like but keep them inside the car." Awarding the album three and a half stars from New Release Today, Mary Nikkel states, "there are moments when it struggles to stay both engaging and coherent in equal measure-- a challenge perhaps intensified by the album's length."

Darryl Bryant, giving the album four and a half stars at Worship Leader, writes, "#Letsgo charges forward from the call to worship". Rating the album four stars by Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies says, "Songs that are powerful, but also intimate, and beautiful to worship to." Madeleine Dittmer, indicating in a four star review for The Christian Beat, describes, "#LETSGO effectively inspires us to proclaim the gospel while simultaneously inviting us to come back to where we belong and actively engage in heartfelt worship of our creator."
