Critical reception
The album has received positive reviews. Lizza Connor Bowen of New Release Today stated that "...The smart lyrics mix keen observation and genuine, vertical praise. On Aware, Salvador continues to answer the aforementioned question with one consistent answer: Jesus." Jesus Freak Hideout stated "Salvador doesn't exactly try anything new on Aware, but the guys do continue to perfect what they know all too well and that's making music that pleases..."Personnel
