    Redemption's Son achieves a sophisticated marriage of traditional songwriting craft and avant-garde production.

    There are moments when this third album is blissfully gorgeous--just not enough of them to make his song of himself interesting to others. [#11, p.125]

    A gust of spiritual pop, a record that openly worships without sinking into heavy-handedness.

    Solid rather than spectacular. [June 2002, p.110]

    I love it, his music is so personal. He is such a talented artist, a treasure amidst the fake "pop" music of right now. Joseph Arthur is a genious!!
