[4] Kevin Davis of New Release Today said, "On a mountaintop north of Redding, CA, the Bethel Music community gathered for an unforgettable evening of worship.

The accompanying film chronicles the full evening of worship interwoven with honest stories as told by Bethel Music leaders about pursuing authentic community amidst an ever-growing and changing culture.

Birthed in a spontaneous moment of worship, the album's title track "We Will not Be Shaken" hails a message of promise amidst adversity and the victory we have in Jesus.

"[5] Christopher Smith of Jesus Freak Hideout said, "Recorded live at Shasta Lake in California, We Will Not Be Shaken is an evening of worship led by the artist collective, Bethel Music.

There are even a few points where their passion for Jesus really bursts through, such as at the end of "No Longer Slaves" where newcomer Jonathan Helser cracks his voice out of complete abandonment while singing.

There are a quite a few things that stand out about this project - the tender tone, the excellent musicianship, and the quality of the singers' voices, but the lyrics could have been stronger and the album's running time could have been cut down considerably.
