[2] The album was preceded by the singles "Drifting", with Dan Haseltine of Jars of Clay making a guest appearance, and "Need You Now (How Many Times)".

[4] On December 20, 2012, she stated she was renaming her upcoming album to Need You Now in honor of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Plumb's longtime producer Matt Bronleewe perfectly describes her unique sound as 'raw, lyrically introspective vocals floating across an epic soundscape.'

"[25] In addition, the album got a perfect ten-star rating from Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms, who praised her for being "one of the finest singer/songwriters in Christendom, possessing a beautiful soprano voice which is both wistfully poignant and passionately expressive.

In recent years Plumb has been discovered by the EDM community and no doubt in the coming months there will be tracks from this stunning set remixed to feature in the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts.

"[19] Need You Now got four-and-a-half-star-out-of-five ratings from the following publications: About.com, Christian Music Zine, CM Addict and Jonathan Francesco of New Release Tuesday.

"[16] Indie Vision Music's Jonathan Andre noted that "this poignant collection of 12 songs (plus an added remix) present to the listener a place where emotion, struggles, hope, fear, peace, comfort and calamity all collide as Plumb invites us into a moment of vulnerability and surrender- asking the Lord to be our comfort in the trials, even if or when we can't even see or feel His presence (especially then!).

"[20] In addition, Andre vowed that "Need You Now matches anticipation and adds a little extra as Tiffany reveals what I think is her most personal album to date.

[20] Jen Rose of Jesus Freak Hideout noted how the album "has arrived as a return to form, an eclectic mix of hooky pop and rock songs that present a multi-faceted portrait of an accomplished artist and a regular woman with a story to tell.

"[21] Rose foresaw that "Though it might seem all over the place on first listen, it turns out that this record is a portrayal of life's complexity, all wrapped in a variety of musical styles, a powerful yet vulnerable voice, and emotional and lyrical honesty.

Those who have been waiting for more of what Plumb does best will find a lot to love in Need You Now, as it shows off the many sides of Tiffany Lee and makes another strong entry in her career's beautiful history.

"[21] Jesus Freak Hideout's Alex "Tincan" Caldwell surmised that "Plumb's long delayed Need You Now gives new life to the old adage that 'some things are worth waiting for'.

[27] He was thankful that deluxe editions like this were released and that the four new songs fit the album's theme well and actually enhanced the listener's experience, and overlooks the mandatory "radio remix" thrown into the bonus tracks.
