the feeling these words mean more to him than they did ten years prior", also noting that "The original songs are just as strong, from the catchy first single 'Do Everything' to the laid-back island vibe of 'Long Way Home.'" The Jesus Freak Hideout reviewer John DiBiase gave the album four out of five stars, opining that "The positives of this release outweigh any negatives as the new songs are wonderful additions to the talented artist's catalog and the updates of the older, now dated songs are a nice touch", although noting that "longtime listeners who have an attachment to the originals might not embrace each one with open arms". Dibiase had harsh words for "Dive (Deeper)", however, calling the prominent flute in the song "horrifically intrusive" and "hyperactive". Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday gave the album four out of five stars, calling the album "my inspirational album of the year". Brian Mansfield of USA Today gave the album three out of fours stars, listing "The Great Adventure (Re:created)", "For The Sake of the Call (Re:created)", and "Do Everything" as his download picks. Ed Cardinal of Crosswalk.com gave the album a positive review, commenting that "If you've ever liked Steven Curtis Chapman, re:creation — nostalgic yet forward thinking — will make you like him even more", also praising the 're:creations' of "The Great Adventure", "Heaven in the Real World", and "Speechless" for replacing the prevalent audio effects and background vocals of the originals. Jeremy V. Jones of Christianity Today gave the album three out of five stars, commenting that "The absence of shiny, happy, radio-pop production improves several of these hits, including "Dive (Deeper)" and "More to This Life." The restraint strips away original excesses to turn "For the Sake of the Call" and "Magnificent Obsession" into prayerful, renewed confessions of faith no matter what may—or has—come. But references to Regis Philbin and his "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" TV show leave "Live Out Loud" feeling somewhat dated". Cardinal also praised the fleeting Americana influences of the album, while expressing disappointment in their limited usage.
