Signaling in a four and a half star review by HM Magazine, Sean Huncherick replies, "Knives to the Future not only carries the hype, but vaults it over."[3] Michael Weaver, indicating in a four and a half star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, recognizes, "Project's latest is musically hard-hitting and lyrically challenging and on point."[5] Shaving a half star off her review is New Release Tuesday's Mary Nikkel, responding, "This is a project likely to further solidify the loyalty of their dedicated following."[11] Specifying in a five star review by Indie Vision Music, Lee Brown reports, "Knives to the Future is poetry that is formatted for the pleasure of your auditory canals."[4] Andrew Funderburk, awarding the album four stars at Christian Music Review, writes, "Although Knives to the Future is lyrically sound and has stand-out tracks, like any album should, the overall general feel does lack somewhat in the energy that rock usually gives."[2] Rating the album an eight star release for Jesus Wired, Topher P. says, "Although there are, like practically any other release, a few low points on the record, that tally stays at only a few."[10] Jacob Neff, awarding the album an eight and a half out of ten at Christ Core, writes, "Project 86 has created a beautiful, powerful, and complex album that has further stretched the band’s creative muscles."[1]
