Reception

's David Jeffries reviewed The White Album and found it was "Built for the 20-plus crowd that might crave a little synth with their CCM". The project takes the group's favourite track and "hands them over to producers and DJs for repurposing. The results are either expected yet spot-on or surprising plus very welcome". In May 2014 Stephen Curry of Cross Rhythms declared it "contains remixes of popular Hillsong United songs from various projects, giving them a new sound or twist in the process".
