    All in all, it's pretty much perfect. [Jul 2003, p.100]

    Soul Journey might sound downbeat and lonesome, wistful and dusty, but this is gospel music compared to what went before.
  3. Delusions of Adequacy

    Soul Journey takes off in more than one new direction.
  4. All Music Guide

    Aside from a handful of real solid honest-to-gosh gems, the whole album feels a little too casual and off-the-cuff to stand on equal footing with her other recordings.
