Critical reception
Matt Collar of AllMusic said the remix album "showcases remixed versions of many of the contemporary Christian pop vocalist's best-loved songs" and "are high-energy cuts that retain all of Grant's bright, passionate pop style, and they're perfectly suited for any club- or dance-oriented situation."
At Cross Rhythms, Joy Attmore says that In Motion... has "a seamless flow and steady pace of energy between each track which make this a very enjoyable listen, hard to sit still to or refrain from singing along to. For a generation that may not be as well versed in Grant's discography, today's recording technology has brought a new sheen to some of Nashville's most memorable CCM. So expect to hear cuts from this set even in the lands of glow stick-waving and raving beats."
Mark D. Geil of Jesus Freak Hideaway has a different opinion about In Motion... he says that the album's worst moments, the lyrics and the music become a complete mismatch. There are two (yes, two) remixes of "Stay for Awhile," a sweet song about catching up with an old friend better suited for a lazy summer day than a club. "Say Once More" somehow strips the earnestness from Grant's vocal. And "Better than a Hallelujah" might be a leader among songs most ill-suited for a remix.
