Critical reception

Carolyn Aldis of The Louder Than the Music gave the album five out of five stars saying, This is a CD that will be on repeat in my home, a rollercoaster ride of an album, with dance songs that take you up to the top, push you over the edge, arms up, smile on your face as you rush deeper in, the twists and turns of the ride bringing a smile of wonder to your face, the beauty of the slower songs keeping you hanging in mid-air, soul in your throat, enjoying the closeness of God, far above the world.
