Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media said "Probably the most personal and emotional song that Planetshakers have ever recorded, "Only Way" is an explosive guitar led pop/rock anthem, which released this month and is inspired by the tumultuous ordeal of lead singer Joth Hunt's surgery to remove a cancerous tumor early last year. With Joth in the midst of a desperate situation, "Only Way" was born, and like Joth has been give comfort by his own song; so too does he want others in Australia and in the entire world to be impacted by God moving in his own life."[12]
