Awarding the album four and a half stars from CCM Magazine, Kevin Sparkman writes, "Tree63's Land deserves nothing short of a ticker-tape parade."[2] Mary Nikkel, giving the album four stars at New Release Today, states, "Although this album may largely appeal to a particular niche, for any who choose to sail into its rich waters, it is a voyage well worth the taking."[6] Signaling in a four star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "The fact is that Land is without a doubt the most diverse, nuanced, and interesting Tree63 album yet, while maintaining a worshipful tone...Land is a quality record that should be heard."[5] Chris Webb, assigning the album a nine out of ten for Cross Rhythms, says, "This album is not just to support some live performances; this is a stand-alone statement of intent that Tree63 are back on track."[4]

Rob Snyder, rating the album an A for Alpha Omega News, says, "the lyrics are simple but inspiring and real".[1] Giving the album a 4.0 out of five by Christian Music Review, Laura Chambers states, "Land authentically...[concludes] that God is good and His promises are real, no matter how it might seem".[3] Scott Mertens, indicating in a three out of five review at The Phantom Tollbooth, replies, "Land is a mix of the big, arena sound of their past and softer, mellower works."[7] Rating the album four stars from Worship Leader, Jay Akins states, "Strong melodies and well-written stories draw the listen into the moments of each song. Land is a great album full of hope and compassion for everyone listening."[8]
