Indicating in a nine out of ten review for Cross Rhythms, Matthew Cordle mentions, "In summary, a great set of songs that build on past work and delivers a strong message from one of the best bands currently working in CCM."[2] Sarah Fine, writing in a four and a half star review for New Release Tuesday, realizes, "This is a worthy effort by an incredible band seeking to say honest things."[4] Referencing in a three and a half star review for Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks explains, "Cathedrals feels unsurprising, but also genuine... It's inconsistent, but also entirely respectable, and it's this latter quality that makes for a landmark CCM release this fall."[3] Andy Argyrakis from CCM Magazine, in a three star review, suggesting, "Musically speaking, the contemporary pop arrangements are pleasant and simple, while front man Mike Donehey’s smooth delivery is a fitting vehicle to convey encouragement and comfort to fellow believers."[1]
