Awarding the EP four and a half stars for CCM Magazine, Kevin Sparkman writes, "Urban Rescue does a masterful job at meshing pop sensibility with devoted praise—we can't wait to hear more."[2] Jeremy Armstrong, giving the EP three and a half stars at Worship Leader, states, "the entire record is filled with sound that are true to Urban Rescue."[7] Rating the EP three and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Lucas Munachen says, "Wild Heart is a release any fan of the band, or of Rend Collective, will do well to pick up."[5]

Jonathan Andre, indicating in a four star review by 365 Days of Inspiring Media, describes, "This is a group who is passionate about what they believe, fusing together electronics with a heart of bringing people back to what they once were supposed to be doing- giving glory to the King."[1] Signaling in a 3.8 star review for Today's Christian Entertainment, Laura Chambers writes, "It's a bold vision, to be sure: redefining the scope of the mission field; narrowing it, in effect, to our own corner of the world. Urban Rescue brilliantly urges us to give our neighborhoods a second look with God's eyes."[6]

Chris Major, allocating the EP a 4.8 star review at The Christian Beat, states, "Wild Heart absolutely stands out as a highlight in Urban Rescue's career, and in praise and worship music."[3] Allotting the EP a nine star review from The Front Row Report, Reggie Edwards says, "There's something to be said about how powerful, encouraging and exalting Wild Heart is."[4]
