 Graeme Crawford of Cross Rhythms rated the album a seven-stars-out-of-ten, and noted that "Opinion seems to be divided over 'Run', as some see it as a tremendous and vital album, while others view it more as a sign of the descent of Christian rock bands into the dark realms of commercialism and style over substance.It certainly has a highly polished production and more than a hint of radio-friendliness, but it is also engaging and uplifting.Sanctus Real are not breaking any new ground by any means, but there is that sort of familiar comfort that you get from slipping into a favourite jumper."
