Critical reception
This Moment was well received by critics. Jared Johnson, of AllMusic, gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "You get the feeling that the man with the most Dove Awards in the history of the Gospel Music Association could write this stuff in his sleep. He's that good, and the tunes are that well done." John DiBiase, of Jesus Freak Hideout, gave the album 4 out of 5 stars calling it "a relevant and inspiring album that proves Steven Curtis Chapman still has plenty to offer the world of music twenty years after his debut."
Chart performance
This Moment peaked at No. 47 on Billboard's Digital Albums chart. The songs "Cinderella" and "Miracle of the Moment" both peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.
Awards
In 2009, the song "Cinderella" was nominated for two Dove Awards - Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year - at the 40th GMA Dove Awards.
This Moment: Cinderella Edition
On May 27, 2008, Sparrow Records released This Moment: Cinderella Edition. This edition has four additional tracks, including the acoustic version of the single "Cinderella". This version gained notoriety for being released days after the death of Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria Sue, who was one of the inspirations behind the song. The studio claims that there were plans for this edition a month before the accident.
