[4] In writing the album, Hall worked with outside songwriters Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West, and Tom Douglas on several tracks;[4][5] he received writing credit on eleven out of the album's twelve tracks, the exception being "Face Down", which was penned by Hector Cervantes and Marc Byrd.

The string tracks on the album, which were arranged by David Davidson, were recorded at Ocean Way Studio in Nashville, Tennessee by Bobby Shin.

[5] "Jesus, Friend of Sinners" "admonishes the Christian church to show compassion"[5] and "laments how the world knows many Christ followers more by what they are against than what they are for".

[5] "Already There", described as "echoing "Clocks"-era Coldplay",[6] relates the concept that "God is already sitting at the end of your life looking back at it".

[5] "The Well", regarded by Hall as the "heart of the entire album",[5] highlights the "life-giving love of Jesus" as opposed to "dried up empty religion".

[12] The song was written to "shake up some fathers and remind them of their true priorities" and to "encourage kids out there who don't have an involved dad here on Earth".

[23] In its second week, the album sold 30,000 copies in the United States, dropping to number ten on the Billboard 200 chart.

[10] Tom Lennie of Cross Rhythms gave Come to the Well nine out of ten stars, praising the album's music and lyrics for being "impacting" and "making for much more than just an enjoyable listen".

[9] Schexnayder of Jesus Freak Hideout gave a second staff opinion rating of three-stars-out-of-five, and wrote that "Come To The Well is not an unbearable musical venture, and it's likely one of their better recent releases.

Although their music may not be of the highest quality, those looking for lyrics that go deeper than your average contemporary worship band should consider giving at least some of Casting Crowns' latest a listen.

[38] Bert Gangl of The Phantom Tollbooth gave it a three and a half out of five stars, writing that the album "taken as a whole, the new record, in spite of its intermittent musical tangents – or perhaps because of them – winds up being one of the Crown collective's most cohesive, and impressive, releases to date.
