Today's Christian Entertainment[35]

Jesus Freak Hideout's Alex Caldwell in his favourable review of the album lauded Crowder for "ability to mix and match eras and genres into a musical stew that is all his own," further concluding: "Milk & Honey may not be groundbreaking next to Crowder's own impressive musical history, but it is no less welcome a return."[32] Timothy Yap of JubileeCast praised the album, saying Milk & Honey is "Crowder's most diverse and best album to date."[33] Yap also praised the lyricism, saying "the songs show theological depth and pastoral sensitivity."[33] In a positive review for Worship Leader, Caitlin Lassiter said of the album: "Milk & Honey is yet another project that proves why Crowder is one of the most profound worship leaders of our time. Creative yet authentic, this record captures the best parts of both the high-energy and the more intimate sides of worship."[36] In a NewReleaseToday review, JJ Francesco spoke of the album, saying "Crowder is always reliable for putting out albums that stand out from the pack. Milk & Honey is no exception and will surely be one of 2021's landmark releases in the genre."[37] Jono Davies, reviewing for Louder Than the Music, said, "For me and this is a very bold statement but I think this album is Crowder's most complete album as a solo artist. This album feels current, creative but most of all it's an album that is built around love - this comes over so much in the lyrics. Great job Crowder."[34] Kelly Meade, commended Crowder in a review at Today's Christian Entertainment, saying "Throughout Milk & Honey Crowder's uniqueness shines with each song vocally and on the production level as well. As you listen to the album, you hear a musically diverse collection that features something for everyone all while maintaining a solid focus on a relationship with our Creator on a deeply personal level."[35]
