Reception

Allmusic gave the album 3 of 5 stars. John DeBiase at JesusFreak gave it 3.5 of 5 stars, naming the new track "I Thank You" as a "hit to be", but stating that "Expressions of your Love" would have benefited from less Tomlin and more St. James. He recommend the disc to new listeners of St. James as a "perfect introduction" to the singer. The album charted for 6 weeks among Billboard Magazine's Christian Albums rankings, peaking at No. 16.
