Upon the release of Restored, "Lay Down My Pride" received mostly positive reception from critics. Christa Farris of CCM Magazine described the song as a "full-on rocker".[1] John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout praised the song as one of the strongest songs on the album, opining that "Camp stretches his vocal style slightly further than usual, offering a strong chorus and anthemic rhythm".[2] Russ Breimeier of Christianity Today, however, felt the lyrics in the song were uninventive.[3]
"Lay Down My Pride" was nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year at the 37th GMA Dove Awards, ultimately losing to tobyMac's song "The Slam".[4]
"Lay Down My Pride" was released to Christian CHR and Christian Rock radio on June 4, 2005.[5][6] It peaked at number one on the Radio & Records Christian CHR and Christian Rock charts.[7] It ranked at number three on the 2005 year-end Christian CHR chart.[8]
