End of Silence received generally favorable reviews from critics, although it was criticized for its unoriginal sound.
Writing for Indie Vision Music, user JoshIVM wrote: "“End Of Silence” is a great album and an even better debut! It’s quite amazing how easy it is to listen to this disc over and over. I feel that they have replay ability that some of the bands they can be compared too do not. I hope that they’ll learn from this and branch out on their next album, like labelmates Day Of Fire did with “Cut & Move”. If they are able to break free of the comparisons the sky truly is the limit for this quintet." [9]
John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying: " The band oozes talent and promise despite its formula, but just seems held back by the ever popular trend in Christian music to emulate the mainstream success stories. Could Red stretch their wings beyond the confines of familiarity? While End Of Silence isn't all that it could be, it still isn't bad for what it is." [10]
In 2007, the album won a Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year at the 38th GMA Dove Awards. [11] It was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. [12] RIAA has certified "Breathe Into Me" Gold. [13]
