CCM Magazine's Grace S. Aspinwall said that "Big Daddy Weave has a like-ability factor rivaled only by their musical talent...and both come to light in their latest album, Love Come To Life.^[6]

Christian Music Zine's Tyler Hess said that "the album definitely plays it too safe for my taste, but that tends to be the status quo for contemporary Christian music, so here’s another log on the fire."^[7]

Christianity Today's Robert Ham said that "Their albums come out like clockwork, and the music on them fall into a niche of adult contemporary pop with few frills and fewer surprises. Their new disc follows this template to the letter, fluttering along in the background with piano-driven balladry and mid-tempo barroom stompers. Were it not for an inspiring heart that urges themselves and their listeners to move their lives forward in the light of the Lord, this album would have little to recommend it."^[8]

Indie Vision Music's Jonathan Andre said that "Love Come to Life would be fresh and invigorating, something new from the band that would stand out among other albums in 2012. Listening to the album a few times, I can say that this is one of the most honest, mature, and lyrically provoking albums from Big Daddy Weave."^[9] In addition, Andre wrote that "Big Daddy Weave has improved yet again from their last studio album What Life Would be Like. With heartfelt lyrics and creative musical arrangements, this is an album that will stand tall amongst others throughout their career."^[7]

Jesus Freak Hideout's Roger Gelwicks said that "CCM fanatics everywhere have only more reason to rejoice with Big Daddy Weave's return from hibernation, as the sugary-sweet pop hooks, shiny choruses, and inspirational moments aren't in short supply. Without much distinction to speak of, this album will no doubt get its fans, but lose them quickly to the band that mimics them next. In the end, Love Come to Life will satisfy fans of Christian radio, as well as any of the aforementioned bands, but perhaps no more than that."^[10]

Louder Than The Music's Jono Davies said that "from the moment you hear the sound of the opening track, you know what you are going to get in style and sound. There isn't necessarily anything new in style or music, but what you do get is a whole album full of great, strong, honest songs with solid sound quality and production that will be please all fans of this band. "^[11]

New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis said that "after repeated listens, the sincere and poignant lyrics, musical excellence and Mike Weaver’s compelling vocals make Love Come To Life my new top album by this great band surpassing all of their previous excellent albums."^[12]

Worship Leader's Randy Cross said that the album "continues to solidify the sound that has made them one of Christian music’s most sought after and respected groups. The album features music for rolling down the car window and turning up the volume, or rolling up your sleeves and bringing your church into God’s presence."^[13] Furthermore, Cross wrote that "as you listen to Love Come to Life, it is easy to see Big Daddy Weave garners their lyrical content from life experiences. With each track you’re swept into the incredible awe of our God who works through the everyday situations of our lives to bring us to maturity. Contemplative and celebratory, Love Come to Life reminds you that there are others who share this walk of trial and blessing, with its unexpected range of emotions, and unforeseen circumstances."^[13]
