Critical reception

Roughstock.com says, '"Somebody Said a Prayer" finds Cyrus soaring vocally while the layered production backs him up. Fans of softer country production may not like the 'bombastic' elements of this song all that much because it seems as if it is overshadowing or [competing with] Billy Ray but it's a technique that's been used in pop/ Christian markets for ages.' They also say it should cross over to the contemporary Christian music market.
