Critical reviews for Bloodshot were positive, even though the downbeat nature of the lyrics was consistently noted. Alex Caldwell from Jesus Freak Hideout said, "you aren't likely to hear a heartbreaking subject like divorce treated with this level of transparency from a standpoint of faith in many places. Bloodshot is a heartbreaking and moving listen, with a veteran band's level of attention to detail."[2] John Underdown, in a second review, agreed: "the songs grow on the listener with each spin and the depth of the writing is compelling with great use of imagery,"[2] while Brian Q. Newcomb from The Fire Note pointed out that "the music here is more high energy and positive sounding than you would expect with this content."[3] Jerry Wilson from Cephas Hour summed up Bloodshot as "the most straightforward album The Choir has ever recorded", calling the songs "simpler without being simplistic: more direct, more immediately accessible.”[5]
