"Over a decade after The Nightfly, Fagen's second solo work somehow surpasses its predecessor.

"This was significantly better than I expected. It's pop rap so I expect it to be thoroughly panned by this community which is fine. That's ok. Lil Nas X will keep doing his thing.

"This album effectively combines rock, rap, R&B, gospel, and pop music along with faith based lyrics to create a classic album. It is considered a landmark album in the Contemporary Christian Music scene."  Reply

"In my opinion this albums varies a lot in quality, too many tracks borders on a more reggae/dub-foundation than her previous album, which I don't think suits the amazing Merrill Garbus.
