"No Other Name is truly stellar. Once again they have released their newest 'best' album." - NewReleaseTuesday

"Hillsong Church continues to release live worship recordings of its annual conference in Sydney, Australia. That kind of legacy can be a lot to live up to, but No Other Name is all about building on that foundation. The album's 11 new praise songs emphasize congregational worship and highlight the Aussie church's determination to remain pioneers in the genre." - Rhapsody

"Hillsong Worship's No Other Name is like no other" - Music Times

"Hands down, this is easily one of the best worship albums released this year." - Hallels

"Strong lyrics that can be a great help to really teach your congregation to sing theology in a fresh way." -The Church Collective

"Gear up because this album will become a movement. A declarative movement." - Examiner

"Highly recommend it to worship leaders who are looking for something to add to their Sunday morning set list." - Faith Village
