AllMusic[1]

Allmusic called Grateful "a blast of high energy testifying and worship. Many of the previous stylistic elements — pop, funk, soul, and urban contemporary — are still intact, but the messages are concerned solely with praising the Almighty, as the songs "Mighty God," "The Reason," and "Holy" attest. Bright, shimmering production complements Coko's elastic, expressive voice on this celebratory release."[1]
