Reception
Specifying in a seven star review by Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings responds, "If you want your spiritual declarations shouted at you and you recognize that all of us are involved in an all-out spiritual battle there's much here on the group's third album to inspire you."[4] Willis Fedd, writes in a 8.3 review from 1truthonline, replying, "Over all this a good album. With it only spanning 12 tracks it allows the listener to stay focused on the message. Lyrically, Hostyle Gospel gives great spiritual references and their delivery is on point. Their music production has definitely increased since their last album and it makes you excited to see what they have in store next."[5] Bob Marovich, indicating in a three star review from The Journal of Gospel Music, recognizing "The album is peppered with fist-pumping, pep rally style chants designed to fire up a crowd to join Hostyle Gospel in taking up the fight."
