Critical reception
Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media opined that "Gratitude" was "an album highlight, as we hear Brandons earnest emotion and raw honesty here, in pure unbridled praise and worship to God, on a song that would fit right at home on a Singalong album from Phil Wickham." JubileeCast's Timothy Yap wrote in his review: "Overwhelmed by the grace of God, this song finds Lake so enthralled in the beauty of Christ that his only response is simply to sing hallelujah to Jesus." Rob Allwright, reviewing for One Man In The Middle, said the contemplative sound was executed brilliantly on "Gratitude" explaining that "maybe it's more because of the subject matter which feels more heartfelt and genuine. There's a bit of a raw passion that comes out as the bridge echoes through with some great vocal work." Katie Clinebell of Air1 described the song as "Brandon Lakes humble offering of thanksgiving to an infinite God. This gentle ballad explores the tension between Lakes overwhelming gratitude towards God and the corresponding awareness of the limitations of his own finite humanity."
