St. James co-wrote 11 out of the 12 tracks on the album, with the songs "God Help Me" and "You Are Loved" being written solely by her.

[9] The song "Take All of Me" was originally written by Hillsong United artist Marty Sampson and was chosen by St. James because of its worshipful tone.

Rob Theakston of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars and said "the music is so contemporary and the lyrics sometimes so ambiguous, it's easy to forget where her message is coming from and what it's all about.

"[1] JesusFreakHideout gave it 4 stars and commented, "If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something is a wonderful addition to Rebecca St. James's impressive career.

Pop/rock and RSJ fans alike should find a lot to enjoy about this record, and it's a real treat to hear her return to the type of music-making that caused us to fall in love with her a decade ago.

The challenge will be for St. James will be to avoid reverting to old material, continuing to press forward and try new things in her words and music.

14 on Billboard's Hot Christian Albums chart, nine slots lower than 2002's Worship God.
