    This album is chicken soup for the soul. Timeless blues, classic Robert Cray. At times brought me back to listening to old blues records from the 50's as a kid. Crays voice is smooth and his playing is top notch. A great break from the craziness of today's world. Poor guy does seem to get cheated on and dumped a lot.

    When he's not letting loose with some typically emotive soloing on this mix of covers and originals, his voice is still every bit its equal. [May 2020, p.77]

    At a time when deep Southern soul isn't doing a whole lot better than the blues in the marketplace, Robert Cray is an effective cheerleader for both forms, and That's What I Heard shows that after 40 years of record-making, he's in no way tired or short on ideas and inspiration.

    Cray's oft-overlooked voice croons with rare tenderness over the Bobby "Blue" Bland cut "You're The One," and there's a spiky funk to Don Gardner's "My Baby Likes To Boogaloo." But Cray's own compositions are just as striking. [Apr 2020, p.26]
