"[6] CCM Magazine's Andy Argyrakis gave credence to the fact of the band "had no trouble connecting with Christian music's masses" with respect to this album.

"[9] Cross Rhythms' Tony Cummings wrote that with "their fourth full length album, shows they've lost none of their winning ways with memorable pop rock hooks.

"[5] However, he lamented that the album did not maximize what it sees as the band's full potential: "There's a masterpiece brimming with resounding interest from Tenth Avenue North that has yet to be found.

"[12] Louder Than The Music's Jono Davies praised the album's "strong songs and big melodic choruses" and said the first track, "Shadows", sounded a bit like Snow Patrol.

Once again the songs are poignant and powerful, and in recording the new tunes, the band brings a more seasoned level of musicianship and intensity, on par with Coldplay, Hillsong UNITED and Jars of Clay.

"[14] Lastly, Davis said that "with one listen to this album it is obvious Tenth Avenue North is taking another bold step forward on their musical journey.

That being said, even in spite of its flagging energy and overly homogenous [sic] latter portion, the latest release is still a more cohesive final product, taken as a whole, than the sophomore effort.

Both albums pale, though, next to the far more solid freshman project, which still remains the TAN collective's most convincing artistic statement and, consequently, the best place for the uninitiated to begin their investigation of the band.

"[15] Christian Broadcasting Network's Chris Carpenter wrote, "[the] album features several radio friendly songs including the debut single 'Losing' but something gets lost in translation.

"[8] Worship Leader's Jason Whitehorn wrote that "the sounds resonating from Tenth Avenue North’s third album are an easy movement from one track to another of emotional delight.

It praised the album for maintaining a successful U2 and Jars of Clay-esque sound while standing apart with "creative songwriting shapes and quickly evident lyrical strengths."

It said "Losing" is "the biggest winner, a rock gospel stomp with an inspired break-it-down bridge where the combination of triangle, hand clapping, and piano has never sounded cooler."
