AllMusic     [3]

Andree Farias from AllMusic said, "If one didn't know a word of Spanish, Kari Jobe's Le Canto would sound exactly like what it is: the Spanish-language version of her wildly popular self-titled debut." He described the translations as "often clunky, verbatim renditions", but that "at least she sings the heck out of the songs; the purity and conviction in her voice remain her strongest suit".[3]
