Indicating in a three star out of five review for CCM Magazine, Grace S. Aspinwall recognizes, "Possibly one of the most diverse and intriguing projects this year... Truly remarkable work from the quartet".[2] Caitlin Lassiter, writes a four star album review for New Release Tuesday, realizing, "this album seems to have it all. Backed by smooth vocals that blend beautifully from start to finish and pitch-perfect harmonies, the group has mastered an unmistakable new sound - a sound that could very well be a breath of fresh air into the world of Christian music."[3] Awarding the album three and a half stars at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre says, "Veritas’ debut album has done is widen my musical horizons so that I can appreciate songs outside of my genre without loving them more than other tracks."[1]
