A Collision garnered critical acclaim from music critics.

Tony Cummings the founder of Cross Rhythms gave it a perfect ten squares calling it "truly a groundbreaking album", also stating it's a "classic which will be enjoyed and wondered at for decades to come". At Christianity Today, Russ Breimeier gave it a perfect five stars proclaiming that the release is "unquestionably ambitious and inspired, unlike any modern worship album to this point" on which is "nonetheless an expression of worship—one so catchy and creative, fans will clamor to David Crowder Band concerts to sing praises to God at the top of their lungs." Jared Johnson of Allmusic gave it four-and-a-half stars noting how "A Collision's stronghold on the CCM charts continued for well over a year, racking up every accolade imaginable."

At Christian Broadcasting Network, Jennifer E. Jones gave it four spins writing that it is "Too hard to pick album highlights" on the release because "It's an experience piece that should be listened to in its entirety with headphones on and hands lifted high."
