Critical reception
Rodney Batdorf of AllMusic writes that, "Sarah Masen's self-titled album showcases her emotional, moving vocals, as well as her evocative lyrics." and finishes with, "the album suggests that she'll blossom into one of the most creative and lovely CCM talents of the latter-half of the '90s."[1]
This album peaked at no. 27 on October 12, 1996 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums.[2]
Jan Willem Vink writes in his Cross Rhythms interview with Masen that, "There's something more compelling about Sarah Masen than the simple fact that she's the first artist to be signed to Charlie Peacock's new label Re:Think. In fact, her self-titled album needed only a few of Charlie's wide range of production twists to expose its class."[3]
