The album is an entirely remixed instrumental collection of select songs previously released by Bethel Music in an effort to explore "what it is to worship— without words."[5]
David Jeffries, rating the album three stars at AllMusic, says "While it's fine background music for anyone, those most familiar with Bethel's output are going to get the most out of this soothing release."[6] Stephen Luff, reviewing the album for Cross Rhythms whilst rating it seven squares out of ten, says, "I have to mention, however, that it took a number of plays of the disc for me to really "tune in" to what the album is all about as it is not like other "instrumental praise" albums and to the casual listener, it can sound a little like a film soundtrack. ... However, the project will reap rewards with frequent listening."[7] At Indie Vision Music, Jonathan Andre gave the album a three star rating, concluding on a congratulatory note, "Well done Bethel for such an enjoyable and certainly timeless album that will forever change how worship instrumental music is made!"[8] Jono Davies, indicating in a three star review at Louder Than The Music, says, "Creatively Bethel have made a stunning piece of music, just for me I would rather listen to a bunch of new songs with new expressive lyrics to help with my worship to God."[9] Rating the album four and a half stars by NewReleaseToday, Marcus Hathcock confesses "When I first saw the concept of Without Words, I honestly expected an elevator music album of Bethel songs. I had no idea the depth of the artistry that would go into an album that doesn't have a single lyric."[10] Awarding the album three stars from Today's Christian Music, Grace S. Aspinwall writes, "The whole album has great worshipful lyrics that dig deep into the soul."[11]
