Critical reception

Matt Conner, indicating in a four star review at CCM Magazine, states, "This collection does what Bethel Music always does: connects the created to the Creator in inspirational ways on each release." Awarding the album four and a half stars from Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong writes, "In this collection of prayers, Have It All demonstrates a spectrum of the beauty of God...Have It All maintains the organic feel that has become Bethel's trademark and indeed their most important asset. The worship feels sincere, and the spontaneous moments add to the overall worship experience as listeners are invited to take part and join the cloud of witnesses." Mark Ryan, giving the album three and a half stars at New Release Today, states, "This album is full of truth and reflection. It is not a high energy praise-fest, but rather an album designed around the concepts of vulnerability, honesty and resilience." Rating the album four and a half stars by The Christian Beat, Madeleine Dittmer describes, "Have it All pours out praises to our Heavenly Father in songs that truly give Him all. The authentic quality in the lyrics and instrumental dynamics flow through each of the sixteen songs on the album, creating a powerful collection appropriate for all stages of life." Laura Chambers, reviewing the album for Today's Christian Entertainment, says, "Have It All is a well-rounded blend of the simple and profound, the quiet whispers and the triumphant shouts." Indicating with an 83 out of 100 rating for Jesus Wired, Rebekah Joy states, "this is a very honest album that will give listeners the chance to really reflect, and use these songs to connect with God and praise him." Philip Aldis, signaling in a four star review at Louder Than the Music, writes, "it's well made, sumptuously recorded, and all good and genuine perhaps hard to hear it’s a live album at times, only the applause at the end being the clear evidence."
