David Jeffries from AllMusic gave Thankful a four out of five stars rating. He wrote that "blessed with wonderful voices, poignant songwriting skills, and a keen eye for which producers to work with, Mary Mary are a triple-threat who have delivered one exciting album after another. Raising the contemporary gospel bar once again, Mary Mary deserves your attention."[2] Cross Rhythms writer Mike Rimmer found that "the girls are back with their best album yet. Always blessed with strong songwriting and vocal talents, they've refused to compromise the message and this release is packed with excellent stuff and a few surprises."[4]

gollark: dis.cool was a great demonstration of that.
gollark: I treat Discord messages and reddit posts as "basically public" anyway.
gollark: Connections to websites themselves run over HTTPS, which I'm mostly trusting of (MITM attacks are a thing and the government does realistically have access to a cert I'll trust, but that's detectable), and my DNS resolution also runs over HTTPS.
gollark: I figure that if the government here actually wants to see the content of my internet traffic, they probably could individually muck with my connection/devices/whatever somehow, but also probably do not do this generally or particularly often.
gollark: Sure! But that doesn't mean they're actively being exploited all the time.
