Mike Rimmer of Cross Rhythms gave it nine-out-of-ten squares noting that the album "sees Crowder simplify things and deliver his most accessible album in years." At Christianity Today, Russ Breimeier gave it four-and-a-half stars stating that "When the music is this good, worship comes naturally", which he affirmed the music on this album does. Jared Johnson of Allmusic gave it four-and-a-half stars affirming that "It was obvious prior to Remedy that Crowder approaches praise & worship projects from a different realm in the sonic universe."
At Christian Broadcasting Network, Jennifer E. Jones gave it four-and-a-half spins writing that the music is more "concise" making Remedy "a quick shot in the arm full of everything you love about DCB" because the release contains "Futuristic worship and a heart that's bleeding for a Savior to come are the crowning achievements of this album." David Taylor of Jesus Freak Hideout gave it four-and-a-half stars claiming that "the most consistent from start to finish", and it was for "Those looking for a fresh, original, and accessible new worship album should look no further than Remedy." At New Release Tuesday, Kevin Davis gave it four-and-a-half stars commenting that "in another few months this will be my favorite."
