Reviews are hitting in numerous outlets, such as Homelife, Christian Music Review, JesusFreakHideout.com and more. A few are highlighted below:

The band has also launched a brand new campaign, thedreamisyou.com, where fans can share about their dreams with the masses. In the video below, Sanctus Real's Matt Hammitt shares a direct message with their fans to share their dreams, to share whatever God is doing in their lives. "Maybe it's a dream that has come to pass, maybe it's something you're still finding your way through. Maybe it's a story about a dream you layed down, and that God brought you something even bigger and better. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it."

Share your story on thedreamisyou.com with Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #thedreamisYou and your story will show up on The Dream Wall here.

To promote the new album, Sanctus Real celebrated with a CD release party on their street date with family, friends and fans in their homestate at the historic Maumee Indoor Theatre in Maumee, OH. Then heading on the road to continue on the "If We're Honest Tour" with Francesca Battistelli, Sanctus Real will tour throughout November headlining their "Sanctus Real Live Tour" featuring Josh Wilson and Jon Bauer.
