A music video was made for the album's third radio single "Heaven of My Heart".

Thom Granger of AllMusic praised Highlands saying that it was "another artistic high-water mark for the band, which now includes Adam Again member John Knox on drums.

The influence of '70s prog rockers like Yes and Kansas is interwoven with Celtic themes for a Christian rock classic."

David Cranson of Cross Rhythms said that "after years of personnel changes and so-so albums that languished in the shadows of Petra, three GREAT albums have emerged for White Heart, each seemingly topping the last until with last year's 'Tales Of Wonder' many critics were tossing around the phrase 'classic'.

Now comes this, another superlative set of classy AOR cuts ranging from blues based rockers like 'Point Of No Return' to the haunting title track 'Highland of Love.'
