AllMusic's Steve Huey said that "Bebo Norman's national debut album, Ten Thousand Days, is a smooth, polished folk-pop record spotlighting the singer's introspective musings on faith, Christianity, and love.

Overall, it's more considered and soul-searching than the average CCM album, which makes it a success in spite of the occasional first-album misstep.

"[1] Cross Rhythms' Mike Rimmer said that "Bebo has the skill to pen songs that examine the human condition and the grace that can be discovered in the midst of broken-ness.

There is healing and insight; truth in the midst of pain and plenty of grace emerging from struggle captured in these songs and they're delivered with a light rootsy musical touch built around Bebo's guitar.

"[2] Jesus Freak Hideout's Jenn Terry said that "Ten Thousand Days is the ideal folk, acoustic release to aid in unwinding and drawing closer to our Creator.
