Reception

Critical reception

"Hold Fast" received generally positive critical reception. Steve Losey of Allmusic commented that the song "is rock with polish"[1] and that "Nathan Cochran's bass groove not only sounds heavy but its very tone exudes sweat".[1] He also opined that "The mid-song bridge shows the band at their pinnacle when the guitars build to Millard's intense vocals".[1] Russ Breimier of Christianity Today commented that the song "initially sounds much like [MercyMe's] usual balladry, but then relies on heavier guitars and a powerhouse build during the bridge (a la Coldplay), as well as some clever lyrics to address the intended audience".[4]
