Indicating in a four star out of five review by CCM Magazine, Matt Conner recognizes, "How Can It Be, the Centricity debut for Lauren Daigle, packs a heavy punch with its music and message, built largely on the singer's incredible vocal prowess that garnered Adele comparisons."[1] Christopher Smith, writes a four and a half star album review for Jesus Freak Hideout, realizing, "Lauren Daigle does not need an energetic glossy pop song to grab your attention; she can pull you in with her infectious personality, breathtaking voice, and honest songwriting. How Can It Be serves as an excellent introduction to an artist with a bright future. "[3] In agreement with it being considered a four and a half star album from New Release Tuesday, Christopher Thiessen describes, "Immediately Daigle's powerful and smoky voice impressed, and two years later she is releasing her first album. How Can It Be showcases her vocal strength and tone with worshipful and encouraging songs in the singer-songwriter vein of Francesca Battistelli, Adele, and Sara Bareilles."[3]
