    Testify is a perfect album for anyone who still treasures Face Value, Hello, I Must Be Going and No Jacket Required.

    Testify is full of laid-back, better-than-average adult-contempo fare, and the subtle, atmospheric production sure beats the slickness of his Eighties records.

    A largely boring affair.

    There is little... to compare with either the work of his Genesis heyday or his still heartbreaking 1981 solo debut. [#12, p.139]

    Collins... sounds dated with his glossy production, precision session-playing and radio-friendly songs all done by numbers with a great big hole where a heart should be. [Dec 2002, p.129]

    Middle-age is no excuse for such an unforgivably bland collection of over-emoted love songs. [Dec 2002, p.102]

    This is a great album, Come With Me is great as is the wonderful Carn't Stop Loving You!! Phil should have had a bigger hit with this.

    It's nice. Much better than pieces of shit like Oasis and others.
