Floodplain (Sara Groves album)

Critical reception

Indicating in a four star review by CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis responds, "the 13 pensive pop tracks have a heavy yet hopeful heart placed strikingly across her own production". Mark Rice, giving the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "as with many of Grove's albums containing complex themes and simple, organic music, it does take a certain mindset and repeated listens to really appreciate Floodplain in all its depth." Awarding the album five stars at New Release Today, Kevin Davis states, "Floodplain is a standout, profound listening experience...This is truly a great album and a moving and prayerful listening experience which reflects how we are bound together as believers in faith, love and vulnerability." Madeleine Dittmer, rating the album four and a half stars from The Christian Beat, says, "Sara Groves masterfully creates a beautiful collection of songs in this new album...Floodplain is an impressive album that will draw you in and invite you to deepen your relationship with God." Reviewing the album for The Phantom Tollbooth, Bert Saraco writes, "Floodplain is another brilliant album by Sara Groves. An accessible work fof wisdom and beauty: lyrically poetic and musically smart, Floodplain is still essentially a pop album replete with hooks and well-informed by the best of the classic rock era."
