Reception
In August 1999 Mike Rimmer of Cross Rhythms rated the album as 5 out of 10 and described the album as “There are a few classic songs that turn up here including the title song ‘Jesus Lover of My Soul’ and ‘I Believe’. A couple of lovely moments but in truth this is far too ordinary to justify you spending your dosh here”.
