cheesy, contrived sense." Rose gave credence the album was "something more powerful and memorable than the average CCM pop record. While it may be a slightly different sound from Downhere, it's a wonderful addition to their catalog that only gets better with more listens and could be a late summer sleeper hit." Jesus Freak Hideout's Alex "Tincan" Caldwell noted "the combination of clever musical choices and deeply poetic and thoughtful lyrics makes On The Altar Of Love one of the best releases of the year and earns Downhere another "A" on their report card." Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies said "this record is very strong because this is a band who can write catchy songs that are good enough for anybody of any genre to enjoy. Taking influences from many different artists makes this a varied album, but a varied album of songs that will get played again and again. I'm sure if you get this your whole family will enjoy it, if you like soft rock, indie, pop, big rock ballads, then this album is well worth thinking about." New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis stated that "this album for me harnesses the best of what I’ve come to love about this band, sing-able melodies, songs filled with biblical truth and some of the best vocal combinations in any genre." Furthermore, he noted the album "includes some of their most profound lyrics and every single song will have you singing along in praise and worship to our Savior." Davis cautioned "don’t miss out on this gem, one of the absolute best albums of the year. All twelve songs are interesting, challenging and this is one of those profound listening experiences that you’ll want to experience again as soon as you’re finished." New Release Tuesday's IronJedi called the album "a sacrificial offering of love of the highest order."
