Receiving generally positive reviews from critics, "Heart to Yours" peaked at number one on the US "Billboard" Gospel Albums chart after debuting with 17,000 copies sold in one week; eventually becoming 2002's biggest selling album of that genre in the US, selling over 200,000 copies. The album was also a success on another "Billboard" component chart, the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, where it peaked within the top 20 at number seventeen. However, the album failed to make as big of an impact on the US "Billboard" 200 as the debuts of Williams' bandmates, peaking at a moderate fifty-seven. The album won Williams an award for "Best Gospel Act" at the 2002 MOBO Awards and its lead single "Heard a Word" was featured on the platinum-certified "WOW Gospel 2003" compilation album. "Billboard" listed Williams as the fifth Top Gospel Artist of 2002.
