Critical reception



Mike Rimmer of Cross Rhythms praised the album saying that "motherhood brings a new source of inspiration, reflected in many of the songs. 'Who Hung The Moon' is a child's question that brings Kim back to the wonder of creation in a jazz-tinged piece of MOR! There's more jazz when she turns in a stunning lounge singer performance on 'The Sound Of Your Voice'. Clearly the adult Kim is pushing out the musical boat and enjoying herself! One ballad stands out, the beautiful 'Remember Me', which is a communion song and has a touch of Whitney about it. Just a gorgeous song. The duet with husband Gary Koreiba "Amazing Love For Me" is another song born out of Kim's experience of parenting, this time a realisation of how much the Father gave to us in sending Jesus."
