Grace S. Aspinwall, awarding the album three stars at CCM Magazine, writes, "Delivering a set of worship favorites can be tricky, as some will revert to favoring the original writer/performer. Shane and Shane, in their own way, cover this chosen batch with ease."[2] In a three and a half star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, Christopher Smith describes, "If the intention of The Worship Initiative was to simplify these songs to make them easier for a worship team to reproduce, then the duo accomplished this without sacrificing too much creativity."[4] Kevin Davis, writing in a four and a half star review from New Release Tuesday, replies, "the songs get deeper into the recesses of your heart with the challenging messages."[5] In a 4.7 out of five rated review at Christian Music Review, Kelly Meade says, "From start to finish, this album is full of well written, reflective lyrics calling our hearts to worship."[3] Joshua Andre, awarding the album four stars for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, writes, "A thoroughly enjoyable worship album, Shane & Shane's The Worship Initiative is one to enjoy if you want to hear a worship album full of recognizable old and new favourites."[1] In a four star review from Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong says, "plied with the Shane & Shane artistry full of soaring melodies, pristine guitar work, and emotive musicality, these songs are given new breath with this outstanding collection."[6]
