Critical reception

Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone commented positively on the song, applauding the group's musical evolution; though he did note caution regarding the song's Christian themes, saying "It's hard not to wonder if the FGL guys — both of whom have publicly proclaimed their faith on numerous occasions — will get some flak from religious listeners the way Morris has for "My Church" and its perceived shunning of organized worship. Controversies like that have on occasion."^[1]
