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."[2] 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."[4] Indicating in a three star review at Worship Leader, Barry Westman says, "a bit predictable".[6]

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."[1] 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."[3] Michael Dalton, indicating in a 3.5 out of five review at The Phantom Tollbooth, replies, "This consistently sounds a triumphant note."[5]
