"...Rick Vale's amazing arrangement of lush Celtic pipes and church bells on I WILL SING THE WONDROUS STORY are yet another stand-out on this great album..." 
CCM MAGAZINE

"...perhaps the most memorable piece (on the album) is ALLELUIA, written by Rick Vale, who also wrote ARTIST OF MY SOUL.  This one is very singable, reminiscent of worship anthems like GREAT IS THE LORD and HE IS EXALTED...highlighted by an excellent melody and thunderous drum pattern..."
CHRISTIANITY TODAY

"...ALLELUIA is an indication that songwriter Rick Vale and Sandi Patty are a match made in heaven..."

"...ALLELUIA is another hymn that you will be humming long after the music is turned off..."

"...STAR OF BETHLEHEM by Rick Vale, a composer and songwriter who has contributed enormously to Sandi's repertoire, is simple and yet very profound. This masterpiece shows just how powerful Sandi's voice can be in the lower registers. When she enters the final chorus "And He was born, for all the children," on a low 'E', it is truly exceptional. It also appears to be a song with which Sandi deeply connects.
