Gold is the third studio album by Britt Nicole. It was released on March 26, 2012 and features the Christian radio singles "All This Time", "Stand", and "Ready or Not", as well as her debut mainstream single "Gold". The album was re-released to mainstream markets on February 26, 2013 via Capitol Records, along with a new album cover.
The album has sold 124,000 copies in the US as of September 2016.
Allmusic's Jared Johnson said "the third album from contemporary Christian standout Britt Nicole is a laser beam of positivity."
CCM Magazine's Grace S. Aspinwall said "the album flows well and includes dance anthems alongside some beautiful ballads."
Christian Music Zine's Joshua Andre said "this album has left me literally with no words. Britt’s album is hands down more mature, lyrically and musically sound than her two previous albums combined (and her 2007 and 2009 albums were of high quality too!)."
Christianity Today's Kristin Garrett said that "it's a rare thing to find a CCM artist who appeals to top-40 fans, balancing Christian themes with a sound comparable to today's radio hits. Britt Nicole finds the sweet spot with Gold, showcasing catchy dance beats with the star quality of a Disney Channel diva."
Cross Rhythms' Andy Cooper said "This is faith filled pop bringing a bright hope and an infectious youthful smile to everyone."
Indie Vision Music's Jonathan Andre said "this is a terrific album, no dull points. Every song is a reminder that we are precious to God, that He will do anything for us to be with Him. These 13 songs have reminded me that He is always there in the midst of life, shaping and molding us into the people that He wants us to be." Andre wrote "this album incorporates dance, pop, ballads, rap, and every other genre. This album is for everyone, to be reminded that we don’t walk this world alone. Jesus is with us every step of the way and what a sobering thought this is! Isn’t that worth more than all the gold we can have? We are kings and queens of the most High God; let us claim who we are in Christ."
Jesus Freak Hideout's Jen Rose said "Gold is a solid pop album that is sure to please her fans, and it has the potential to win over some new ones. It's not particularly groundbreaking, but it is a fun listen that confirms Britt Nicole is far from a passing fad, but a capable artist that is here to stay."
Jesus Freak Hideout's Cortney Warner said "while it's not really innovative, Britt's fans will love Gold, and it should bring in some new fans as well."
