Critical reception
Specifying in a four star review for CCM Magazine, Grace S. Aspinwall recognizes, "There's a distinctly personal feel to Chris August's new album, but he retains the signature pitch-perfect pop sound on The Maker", and claims "Overall, yet another incredibly strong and diverse project from Chris whose vocal just continues to be exquisite."[1] Caitlin Lassiter, indicating in a four and a half star review by New Release Tuesday, realizes, "Lyrically, The Maker is August's strongest effort to date", and this according to her makes it "a project hard to find fault with, combining his captivating voice with different sounds and powerful lyrics", which it "succeeds as a well made record, while Chris August continues to make a mark on Christian music."[3] Signaling in a three star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks responds, "this is either business as usual or another step in the direction of mundane."[2]
