Awarding the album four stars from CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis states, "And even if You Shall Live took three years, it was well worth the wait thanks to the singer/songwriter/pastor's superb craftsmanship that seems to have jumped up a notch ever since 2007's gold selling Thirsty and its massive crossover hit "Never Would Have Made It" put Sapp on the international map."[2] Dwayne Lacy, giving the album four stars for New Release Today, writes, "You Shall Live really does not have a feel of a studio album."[3]
