As a Christian I believed that, but as an 18-year-old it was a little hard to swallow. So the questions in the song came from me asking God what was so great about Him that my dad would rather be there."

Giving the album four-and-a-half out of five stars, Allmusic reviewer Jared Johnson stated "If you only know MercyMe for their 2001 ubiquitous AC crossover hit "I Can Only Imagine," you've missed out on some of the Christian genre's most accessible and well-known hits – which means you might not fully appreciate the full artistic statement that the band makes on The Generous Mr. Lovewell, a daring reinvention that drove the band far outside

During the recording of the band's 1999 independent album "The Worship Project", MercyMe needed one more song to fill out the album. Millard, alone on a bus in the middle of the night, finally wrote the lyrics to the song by drawing on his thoughts and personal faith about what one would experience standing before God in Heaven. Millard attests that "['I Can Only Imagine'] is one of the only songs I have ever written where there wasn't any

Millard also believed some radio stations were playing the song to prove it could not succeed on mainstream radio.

I've had so many people after a show pull out a picture of someone they've lost. These people embrace these photos and I just thought how can we tap into that".

Matt Johnson of Jesus Freak Hideout commented about the video on his review of MercyMe's album "10", noting that "Most people think of serious worshipful songs (such as "I Can Only Imagine" & "Word of God Speak") when they think of MercyMe, but the "So Long Self" video captures a side that most don't think of, their fun side".

the song as the 'sequel' to "I Can Only Imagine." Regarding these comparisons, Millard said "’I Can Only Imagine’ took the focus off of what you are going through and was comforting because it put the focus on where they were going... ’Homesick’ is the opposite because it completely addresses us that are left here. I don’t think as a Christian that it’s right for me to say, ‘I wish you could’ve stayed here,’ because truthfully, we’re getting the raw end of the deal if we really believe what we say that heaven is as great as we want it

In writing the music for the song, however, the band faced more difficulty; Millard noted that "at first it was a fast song... it was all these random ideas". Keyboardist Jim Bryson noted that, "we were literally tearing down the stuff...

Millard, who felt the song was one of his favorites off of "Spoken For", said that "When you write an 'I Can Only Imagine,' you're drooling at the mouth to write something up-tempo".

The whole idea is that we’re the ones who have to wait.” Millard has also noted, "The difference with ‘Homesick’ [as compared to "I Can Only Imagine"] is that it talks about those who are stuck around here after someone passes away. When you lose somebody, you learn what being homesick is really about." Critical reception to "Homesick" was generally positive. Allmusic reviewer Johnny Loftus selected the song as a track pick on his review of "Undone", commenting that "[Homesick] is a delicate ballad about being apart." Russ Breimeier of The Fish noted, "The beautiful ballad 'Homesick' is

He noted the orchestra and Millard's vocals as conflicting on the re-recording of "I Can Only Imagine", but also said that it "takes the song to new heights than previously conceived". Justin Michael of Sight Magazine gave the album a positive review, calling it "A must for all MercyMe fans, for those who need a hooky melody with a message and for people who love getting a free DVD with their albums!"; he also praised the one-camera tour videos, but noted "Ten Simple Rules" is "not their brightest musical moment".

With the consent of their label, which felt there was a trend towards heavier music, MercyMe decided to make an "edgier" record. In particular the band focused on up-tempo songs, trying to put more edge into what they were making.
