Background

On March 2, 2020, Carnes that his second studio album, Run to the Father, was slated for release on March 13, 2020.[4] The album marked his follow-up to his debut studio album, The Darker the Night / The Brighter the Morning (2017).[5] The album also represents Carnes' return to his worship-leading roots.[6] Carnes collaborated with venerated songwriters in worship music, such Matt Maher, Ran Jackson, Cory Asbury, Ethan Hulse, Steffany Gretzinger, Stefan Cashwill, and Passion's Kristian Stanfill and Brett Younker.[7] Carnes shared the vision of the album,[8] saying:

The main vision I felt God show me for this new album (and spoke it through Johnny Cash in a dream – no joke) was to go back to where I'm most comfortable and to let the songs play themselves the way they wrote themselves. For me, I feel most at home leading worship and sitting at a piano. And these songs feel very similar live to how they were written – me at a piano or guitar encountering God. Also, I think the lyrics are deeper and more raw.

Run to the Father has garnered mixed reviews from critics of CCM and contemporary worship music genres.

Jonathan Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review praised Carnes' work on the album, for being "able to shape and reshape the view of how worship music should look like to not only people within the 4 walls of the church, but to those outside it as well. And for that I am grateful for his music."[16] Mercedes Rich, indicating in a positive review of the album at Today's Christian Entertainment, said "This album has many other strong tracks, both lyrically and instrumentally. Carnes is not afraid to say the name of Jesus in his songs and remembers the strong importance of simplicity."[19] Paul Delger gave a favourable review of the album for The Banner, saying "The album’s music is reflective, praiseworthy and comforting, while the sound offers an anthemic and pop feel. This record will not disappoint listeners searching for immersive, substantial praise music."[20]

Jesus Freak Hideout's Chase Tremaine gave a negative review of the album, opined that "the songs oscillate between the laudable and the laughable," while berating Carnes' songwriting abilities.[17] Timothy Yap of JubileeCast praised the album for being a welcome departure from the electronic sounds of his debut album, but also bemoaned that most tracks are "piano-based ballads" and Carnes' songwriting, saying "Carnes does have the potential to write excellent songs, but he's not experienced enough to write an entire album's worth of them."[18]
