Andy Argyrakis, signaling in a four star review at CCM Magazine, writes, "Lyrically speaking, the group is wholeheartedly committed to ministry, and regardless if it’s an upbeat powerhouse or towering ballad, Weeks' chilling vocals and the supporting cast's crisp delivery are sure to command attention for these more than deserving veterans."[3] Awarding the album three and a half stars from New Release Today, Jonathan J. Francesco states, "It's not going to reshape the CCM genre, but it will give Christian radio some welcome hits, and that makes it a winner."[8]

Andrew Wallace, indicating in an eight out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, describes, "JJ's vocals shine impressively throughout, confidently covering a range of styles whether rock powerhouse or soft country tinge."[5] Rating the album four and a half stars from Worship Leader, Jay Akins calls, "a powerhouse of a record."[9] Jono Davies, giving the album four stars at Louder Than the Music, writes, "The band have a solid album here that I'm sure will make some great waves in the Christian Music world."[7]

Grading the album an A for Alpha Omega News, Rob Snyder calls, "A pleasing effort" by the band.[2] Lucas Munachen, rating the album two and a half stars by Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "As Long As We Can Breathe is an underwhelming effort from a band that once displayed so much potential."[6] Chris Major, rating the album 4.3 stars out of five from The Christian Beat, writes, "Encouraging, inspiring, joyful, [and] powerful".[4] Signaling in a four star review by 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre states, "As Long As We Can Breathe is definitely going to provide buzz and coverage for the band".[1]

gollark: Hmm...
gollark: <@356209633313947648> ```- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)- All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.```
gollark: Okay, that is... probably a better idea, yes.
gollark: Anyway, <@178948413851697152>, please do rewrite that query if you have *better* ideas.
