Awarding the album four and a half stars from CCM Magazine, Kevin Sparkman writes, "Soul is expertly crafted and calls for all within earshot to take immediate notice."[1] Lauren McLean, rating the album a 3.9 out of five at The Christian Beat, states, "Writing from unbearable experiences and life itself, this album is easy on the ears and good for the heart."[2] Giving the album four stars by Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong describes, "This is kingdom art. It's jarring to some, but some jarring is good...God who is seen dimly, but also more clearly when we chase after him with this One Wild Life."[4] Jonathan Harris, indicating in a ten out of ten review by Cross Rhythms, says, "This album catches so many emotions so powerfully."[3]

gollark: I mean, it's 256x256, so it might look "squarey" if it's being upscaled.
gollark: As you can see, it does not look good.
gollark: It took an annoyingly long time to work out how to generate this, but here's an example of an entirely random image.
gollark: I... don't think so, randomly generating images would be trivial and look bad.
gollark: People kind of understand the general architecture, but AI stuff is trained on large volumes of data and evolves to the point where you can't know exactly *how* it does things.
