Justin Croteau of "HM" wrote that "passion-filled record that will also make you want to get up and move." At Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwick felt that "unfortunately, this also results in relying on their 'same old' for "We Won't be Shaken", even closing out the set with a live recording of "Where I Belong" to drill in that message even more." However, Francesco did not feel this way, when he wrote that "on top of all of this, they've gone and explored some new sounds to effective results." At "Worship Leader", Jay Akins wrote that "Building 429 delivers powerful & biblically solid lyrics wrapped in a thoughtfully balanced mix of ballads & rock anthems", and that the release is "masterfully written and produced", which "is truly a joy to listen to." He noted that the only thing that could have made this effort better would have been "to have at least one congregational worship song on this record." "We Won't Be Shaken" has received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Christian Music Zine, Emily Kjonaas claimed that ""We Won't Be Shaken" is sure to inspire anyone." Jonathan Andre of Indie Vision Music exclaimed that "well done Building 429 for a stellar album full of lyrics destined to be in the hearts and on the lips of many in months and years to come!" New Release Tuesday's Jonathan Francesco proclaimed that "this is a fine album full of potential hits and is sure to raise the bar for them next time around." At About.com, Kim Jones noted how "starting strong and finishing the same way, this is 41 minutes of musical might!" At Cross Rhythms, Holly Cooke wrote that "the strong drum beats, memorable lyrics and powerful vocals demonstrate Building 429 has lost none of their winning ways with memorable hooks for which American radio stations love them." Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies proclaimed that the release "has a great theme running throughout", and that this album is truly "a classic rock album with a great meaning." Jay Akins of "Worship Leader" found that "Building 429 has continued to exceed our expectations with every song", and said that "from beginning to end Building 429 impresses with "We Won't Be Shaken"!" At "HM", Justin Croteau called this "a heartwarming record with songs that will be stuck in your head for days to come." Scott Mertens at The Phantom Tollbooth called the release "a solid collection" that "also has strength and growth in faith."
