If ${{\Phi }_{\lambda }}$ is a master function corresponding to a hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ and a collection of weights $\lambda $, we investigate the relationship between the critical set of ${{\Phi }_{\lambda }}$, the variety defined by the vanishing of the one-form ${{\omega }_{\lambda }}=\text{d}\log {{\Phi }_{\lambda }}$, and the resonance of $\lambda $. For arrangements satisfying certain conditions, we show that if $\lambda $ is resonant in dimension $p$, then the critical set of ${{\Phi }_{\lambda }}$ has codimension at most $p$. These include all free arrangements and all rank 3 arrangements.
