Critical reception
On its release, 'Music & Media' wrote: "Going for a world record straightaway: ex-Waterboy Scott sings the word "bring" 66 times on this passionate folk song." In a review of 'Bring 'Em All Inn', 'The Guardian' commented: "Scott's lyrics are too soul-bearing for comfort but he can write a good tune - the title track, in particular, is deserving of a very wide audience." Neil McKay of 'Sunday Life' considered the song to be "haunting", with a "gorgeously simple melody".
Diana Valois of 'The Morning Call' wrote: "The title cut is a terse taunt rumble of guitar with plenty of drama as Scott shepherds the title chant from a whispered plea to a gravelly command. While Scott isn't a "Christian artist," this cut, which winds into a hushed, church-like chorus, has the right sentiment and edge to cross over." Sandra Schulman of the 'South Florida Sun Sentinel' described the song as "sound[ing] like the song of a savior, requesting all the good, evil and in-between to come into his heart for shelter." Kevin O'Hare, writing for the Newhouse News Service, described the song as "kick[ing] the [album] off in hypnotic and promising fashion".
