Schexnayder of Jesus Freak Hideout gave a second staff opinion rating of three-stars-out-of-five , and wrote that " '' Come To The Well '' is not an unbearable musical venture , and it ’s likely one of their better recent releases . Although their music may not be of the highest quality , those looking for lyrics that go deeper than your average contemporary worship band should consider giving at least some of Casting Crowns ’ latest a listen . " Davies of Louder Than the Music gave it a three and a half out of five stars , noting that " there is absolutely nothing wrong with this album " , which he expects more out of the band , advising that with " a little bit more creativity musically and this could be a really strong album . " Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday gave it a four out of five stars , evoking how the album is " filled with songs that both challenge and encourage believers in their walk " , and calling it " the best album by Casting Crowns since '' Lifesong '' " . Bert Gangl of The Phantom Tollbooth gave it a three and a half out of five stars , writing that the album " taken as a whole , the new record , in spite of its intermittent musical tangents – or perhaps because of them – winds up being one of the Crown collective 's most cohesive , and impressive , releases to date . " Ed Cardinal of Crosswalk.com said the album was " as strong and yet relatively safe as anything it has done before " and praised it as " sure to be among 2011 ’s most popular and enduring Christian albums " . Lindsay Williams of Gospel Music Channel praised the album 's songwriting and said the album " is a solid effort in the Crowns discography " . Barry Westman of '' Worship Leader '' praising the album for its " variety in styles adds to the complexity of the album , and keeps the listener wondering what will come next . " At the 2012 Billboard Music Awards , the album received the award for Top Christian Album .
