From CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis opines "though the group's overtly worshipful and oftentimes redemptive lyrics are as much a focal point as members' commendable creativity."[1] From Cross Rhythms, Matt McChlery references "The recording is predominantly a collection of soaring anthems although there are moments of stillness and quiet that creates an effective ebb and flow to the album... Drawing on a variety of genres and musical styles and using a myriad of amazing synth and keyboard effects, Citizens & Saints have created a top quality project."[3] From Jesus Freak Hideout, Ryan Barbee suggests "Join the Triumph is a great collection of songs to be used within the context of corporate church gatherings, but not much more than that."[4] From New Release Tuesday, Caitlin Lassiter expresses "Join The Triumph seems to be a perfect name for this collection of songs, containing themes of grace, redemption and the greatness of our God running through every track."[7] From Christian Review Magazine, Leah St. John recognizes, "it's a bit of a mixed bag."[2]
