Critical reception

Joshua Andre of 365 Days of Inspiring Media gave a poor review of "Night Like This", saying the original version of the song "sadly is a misstep," as Crowder's voice does fit at all on a full-on country song, also opining that while the three renditions "are quite compelling," the songs do "get old quickly."{{cite web |url= https://www.365daysofinspiringmedia.com/reviews/crowder-red-letters-wildfire-single/ |title= Crowder – Red Letters / Wildfire (Single) {{!}} 365 Days Of Inspiring Media |last= Andre |first= Joshua |date= September 22, 2018 |website= 365 Days Of Inspiring Media |access-date= June 13, 2021}}
