Melinda Hill of AllMusic wrote, "Considering Lily's last release with Serene Campbell and Pearl Barrett is everything one could hope it would be."^[1]

Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms gives the album an 8 out of 10 and says, "if you like the idea of nasal, little girl lost voices, across plenty of grungy guitar, and songs that speak of spiritual warfare, holiness and other vital topics, this one's for you."^[2]

Crosswalk concludes their review with, "While we can't always know God's plan for our lives, it's clear through the testimony of Jeanette and Pearl that God knows which people and circumstances to orchestrate. His timing and planning are perfect, and with Considering Lily, the pieces truly fit."^[3]
