CM Addict's Andrew Funderburk called it "possibly the greatest comeback project in Christian music today" that "doesn’t slow its pace until the project ends", and has the message of "empowerment for us to rise to the position that Jesus Christ has made for us and to live in that position of our identity in Him." Sarah Fine of New Release Tuesday vowed that the album was "On point in every aspect, there isn't a single weak song, each one holding immense potential to become a hit. While it varies in style and sound, the consistent theme of redemption throughout ties it together, making it an album you'll want to listen to again and again. Older fans will be surprised to hear how much of the original sound has crossed over into this new formation, yet old and new listeners alike will enjoy the exciting melodic prospects being presented here."Ology's Brett Warner highlighted that "Kings & Queens is a big, bold, short-and-sweet crowd-ready burst of joyous energy and larger-than-life choruses. Old school fans might miss the Mark Stuart era crunch, but Kevin Max has brought his dynamic pop panache and that unmistakable voice to the table and helped deliver an Audio Adrenaline album that more than matches their best."
