    The entire thing was tracked in just four days, and the pent-up, wind-tunnel sound and throat-shredding vocal runs that drive its 11 tracks reflect a renewed sense of urgency. [No. 133, p.61]

    This isn’t just a great gospel album to hear in 2016; it’s also among the must-hear albums across the musical spectrum.

    By shifting back to his roots, Eli Paperboy Reed swings into the future for his most direct, honest and propulsive set yet.

    Ultimately, that lean sense of purpose is what drives My Way Home: by being lean, heartfelt, and mean, the record proves that Reed is back where he belongs.

    Pop charts and singing contest game shows are rife with artists claiming to be throwbacks to a bygone era, but Reed is the real deal, and he doesn’t need Christina Aguilera to tell him so.

    This is old-time spiritual soul shot through with urgent, electric energy. [Jul 2016, p.79]

    This is real chase-the-devil-out revival with Reed's cut-throat scream and bluesy guitar playing pinned to an anything-goes-in-the-name-of-the-spirit backbeat. [Jul 2016, p.90]
