Above It All

Critical reception

Signaling in a four star review by CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis responds, "This thirteenth studio album once again features the trio’s signature harmonies over vertical lyrics, alongside some new-found electronic elements, which may seem out of character to more traditionally minded adult contemporary listeners, but never diminish these veteran singers’ seasoned abilities." Adding a half star to her rating compared to the aforementioned, New Release Tuesday's Phronsie Howell recognizes, "Above It All is an excellent worship album, and I can see a few of the songs being brought into the music rotation of many churches." Indicating in a three star review at Worship Leader, Barry Westman says, "a bit predictable".

Joshua Andre, awarding the album four stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "Phillips, Craig And Dean have created a stellar and engaging album, as Above It All combines the energetic and enthusiastic heart for Jesus that each of the three vocalists have, a fresh and relevant musical sound, as well as the musical prowess of producer Seth Mosley." Rating the album a 4.3 out of five for Christian Music Review, Laura Chambers says, "it doesn’t hurt that the melodies are appealing, and in, at least one case, groovy." Michael Dalton, indicating in a 3.5 out of five review at The Phantom Tollbooth, replies, "This consistently sounds a triumphant note."
