Critical reception

Lindsey Dennis of Cross Rhythms said of the EP, that Paris' "4-song CD is very pleasing. The first song 'The Time Is Now' is the standout and touches the old heartstrings. The other three songs are from Twila's other albums, so although it's a good CD there were no surprises after the first song." Dennis also admires "Twila's honesty and openness in her write up inside the front cover, especially her prayer. She expresses her wish that those listening to her music will experience the reality and joy of a relationship with Jesus Christ and will always hear his voice above her own."
