The Becoming is the debut studio album from contemporary Christian musician Jenny Simmons, which was produced by Paul Moak, and released on February 5, 2013 by Fair Trade Services.

"[6] At Jesus Freak Hideout, Mark Rice wrote that for "those that are tired of cheery (if not sometimes cheesy) lyrics with glossy production that fits right into the mold of Christian Pop/AC heard oh-so-frequently on the radio, would do well to stay away from The Becoming.

"[1] The Phantom Tollbooth's Michael Dalton stated that this album "chronicles the difficult journey toward wholeness and freedom", and that "These songs deal with the 'in-between,' where questions play a role in finding truth".

[7] Joshua Andre of Christian Music Zine told that this album has "10 honest works of art based on her personal experiences, with plenty of heart and emotion".

At CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis told that "The results find the spellbinding singer and authentic songwriter turning in an earthly batch of relatable narratives filled with hope and purpose.
