The film reads like a faux-hip youth pastor in movie form, only instead of an acoustic guitar, it’s an 808 drum machine luring the kids toward God.

Variety

Adds a mostly delightful entry to the musical genre, even if it doesn’t offer a unique take. More successfully it acts as a winning introductory calling card to the acting and musical talents of its rising star, Chloe Bailey.

The Curvy Film Critic

The premise of taking gospel music and making it sound mainstream is tackled repeatedly seemingly streamlined for the specific audience of the star of that time. This time it's geared for fans of Chloe Bailey. Doesn't take away the fun or the music

Praise This may have some laudable performances and funny moments here and there, but its flimsy and formulaic tendencies make it forgettable.

Rated: 5/10

Bailey and Washington make a fabulous duo, and their characters complement each other.

Rated: 3/5

Praise This is a toe-tapping good time that thinks differently about how to tell a story about Christians that isn’t exclusively for Christians.

I don't think I would have chosen this movie on my own. I'm glad it popped up on my peacock autoplay. It was awesome. The different styles of music they had. I loved the storyline it kept me engaged every step of the way.

It's relatable, incredibly funny, and gets all the right songs stuck in your head. My favourite is pressure.
