Bring Your Nothing has received mostly positive ratings and reviews from the Christian music critics. At Alpha Omega News, Ken Wiegman wrote that he "was impressed with what seems like a new direction instrumentally for the songwriting duo".[1]

Daniel Edgeman of Christian Music Review called the release a "great blend of message and music" that is "very simple, smooth and very powerful", and found that "Shane and Shane bring way more than nothing!"[4] Writing for Christian Music Zine, Joshua Andre felt that the album "does not disappoint" and noted that the release "will change you life" because it is a "gem".[5] Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms found the "album well worth tracking down."[6] Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies stated that the release "sounds powerful and rich in tone, yet not over produced."[10] Kevin Davies of New Release Tuesday called this "one of the most worshipful, challenging and introspective albums".[11] At Worship Leader, Barry Westman told that "Shane and Shane, along with 5 other friends, recorded these tunes simultaneously all in one room. This unique recording method resulted in a very organic, cohesive feel to the album."[13]

At The Christian Manifesto, Calvin E'Jon Moore noted that the duo "has presented listeners with a decent batch of new songs" that he contended "isn't as spectacular or moving as the songs on Clean or Psalms".[3] Jonathan Andre of Indie Vision Music called the album "thought-provoking and encouraging".[7] At Jesus Freak Hideout, Alex "Tincan" Caldwell alluded to how the album's "ping-ponging sounds and styles" makes the release feel "jarring and confusing."[8] Also, Bert Gangl of Jesus Freak Hideout stated that the album "offers just enough top-drawer material to keep the most-devoted members of the existing fan base fully engaged."[9] At CCM Magazine, Grace S. Aspinwall felt that "Shane and Shane certainly bring more than nothing on this release, although the vast array of styles lends an identity crisis of sorts."[2] Derek Walker of The Phantom Tollbooth said that "this will doubtless please their longtime fans and win them respect from others."[12]
