At Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong wrote that "Laura Story puts this foundational belief to song in a collection of 11 worship-full songs of praise and adoration", and it so doing crafted a release that was "subtle, ethereal, and earthy." In addition, Armstrong said that the "Songs swirl around lyrics that are steeped in real life and an honest confession that there are times when we just need to call out 'Abba' and let him be our God while we rest under his wing." Jonathan Andre of Indie Vision Music said that "Laura’s soaring vocals and vulnerable singing style makes the album enjoyable as hopefully more listeners than the target audience will enjoy and be encouraged by these 11 tracks." Furthermore, Andre stated that the "album truly shows her musical and lyrical craft, and cements her own place as one of the best contemporary CCM songwriters."
At New Release Tuesday, Kevin Davis told that "All eleven songs are catchy, worshipful and biblically focused", which comes from Story, who is an "anointed songwriter and she has a profound way of bringing me to the Throne Room of grace with her poignant words, tender singing, and inspirational truths." However, Jesus Freak Hideout's Mark Geil stated otherwise, when he wrote that "There are songs that are fairly routine, both in lyrics and music, but Story maintains a particular ability to insert just the right phrase at just the right place to make a song transcend the routine." On the other hand, Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies told otherwise, when he wrote "Laura has a voice that fits perfectly on these tracks." Also, Davies said that "The lyrics are wonderful with their themes of God's love and forgiveness running throughout the songs on this album."
God of Every Story garnered positive reception from music critics to critique the album. Grace S. Aspinwall of CCM Magazine felt that "the album emanates from a place of vulnerability". At Worship Leader, Jeremy Armstrong felt that "On the congregational front, the songs are a bit hidden, but a little digging will find some true gold." Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday called this "a Spirit-filled and emotional listening experience." At Cross Rhythms, Joanna Costin noted this release as "an uplifting and beautiful album."
