MOG Editorial Review
Though singer-songwriter Amy Grant made her name as a crossover pop star in the '80s and '90s, she's always maintained that her music is contemporary Christian. Her first original album in seven years, Somewhere Down the Road incorporates shades of modern pop and R&B into music that explicitly discusses faith without becoming over-bearing or exclusionary. It's to her credit that Grant balances so admirably on the line between secular trends and religious values, managing a sound that's neither corny, nor contrived.

AMG Review of Somewhere Down the Road
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideSomewhere Down the Road is something between a new album and a compilation, offering six brand-new recordings balanced with three reissues, a handful of re-recordings, and a few unreleased cuts. It’s easy to tell the newer cuts, as they’re the ones that bear slight traces of Auto-Tune on Amy’s vocals, but all of this is cut from a similar cloth: everything marches to a deliberate tempo, everything is well-scrubbed and melodic, everything is friendly and melodic without quite being hooky. If it’s not Grant’s best-known or compelling music, it is certainly representative of how she’s sounded since the turn of the millennium, and since she hasn’t done all that much new since then, it’s nice to have some new music from her, no matter how modest it is.
