Awarding the album four stars from CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis states, "each of the ten tunes deliver when it comes to mouth-watering sounds and faith fortification".[2] Christopher Smith, giving the album three stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "Fresh Start is well-produced, catchy, and has an encouraging message of God's love."[4] Signaling in a four star review by New Release Today, Caitlin Lassiter responds, "Fresh Start solidifies Ryan Stevenson's place in the industry. A well-rounded album overall, Ryan has crafted a successful first full length effort with his work here. While a bit more diversity in sound would be nice, what Ryan has done in Fresh Start creates a successful a debut."[5] Rating the album four and a half stars for The Christian Beat, Herb Longs says, "This album is a perfect example of what can transpire when powerful lyrics meet a passionate voice and excellent production."[3] Joshua Andre, indicating in a three and a half star review by 365 Days of Inspiring Media, describes, "Fresh Start by Ryan Stevenson isn't perfect, as there are a couple of tracks that are a bit misplaced, either lyrically or musically."[1]
