      Critical reception



      Ashleigh Kittle of AllMusic said of House of Worship that the album "features ten new songs as well as two new versions of the well-loved classics 'We Bow Down' and 'We Will Glorify.' Highly piano-oriented, the release can best be described as simple, yet moving. The album's production tends toward organic, not striving to dazzle listeners with innovative approaches, instead seeking to draw them into worship through simplicity." Kittle also mentions that "Paris' voice continues to achieve greater maturity with each release. Her vocals are bathed in what seems a contradiction: confident humility. While her voice comes across as confident and strong because of years of experience and faithful use, at the same time her vocals contain a gentle humbleness as she acknowledges her need for God through song."
      Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms has stated that Paris "has always included worship music in her repertoire and in fact her 'We Bow Down' is one of the most popular of all contemporary choruses. There are re-recordings of 'We Bow Down' and 'We Will Glorify' here, plus 10 newly written worship songs. Twila sings with her usual sweet purity and the musicians around her are top class (catch the violin solo by Stuart Duncan on 'You Are God')."
