| Worship Leader | [6] |
Rob Birtley, allocating the album a nine out of ten review at Cross Rhythms, writes, "The whole release is a roller-coaster of a worship ride. Perfectly paced at each turn to carry you through the devotion behind the music - enjoy the ride, raise your hands if you like but keep them inside the car."[3] Awarding the album three and a half stars from New Release Today, Mary Nikkel states, "there are moments when it struggles to stay both engaging and coherent in equal measure-- a challenge perhaps intensified by the album's length."[5]
Darryl Bryant, giving the album four and a half stars at Worship Leader, writes, "#Letsgo charges forward from the call to worship".[6] Rating the album four stars by Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies says, "Songs that are powerful, but also intimate, and beautiful to worship to."[4] Madeleine Dittmer, indicating in a four star review for The Christian Beat, describes, "#LETSGO effectively inspires us to proclaim the gospel while simultaneously inviting us to come back to where we belong and actively engage in heartfelt worship of our creator."[2]
