Kent Willock's March 2007 (Amazon.com) review sums this gem up nicely: "Matthew Ward has one of the all-time great vocal instruments in any style of music. His pure and distinctly soulful sound is instantly recognizable. This album, released in 1986, was a personal landmark for me. Prior to this album, my view of the "Contemporary Christian" music scene was that it was well intentioned second rate artistry. Here, the songwriting, the lyrical depth, and the vocal and instrumental virtuosity come together in a powerful, high energy musical statement. Matthew's vocal soar, Dan Huff plays a power guitar as only he can do, Lee Jones' bass work is VERY funky, and Jim Tenneboe's 80's period keyboard work is very tasty! 'Red and Yellow, Black and White' is a funky re-make based on the children's song of the same name, celebrating the ethnic diversity of God's people. 'Armed and Dangerous', and 'Put on the Armor' with their metaphorical references to warfare are based on Ephesians 6:10-18, where we are encouraged to "Put on the full armor of God.." so we can "stand firm..." in the faith. 'Glory to God' is a majestic anthem to the God who rescues us in times of doubt and fear. 'Love' is a passionate tear jerker for anyone who's ever had a child of their own to pray over. This is perhaps the biggest "hit" from this album, as Matthew prays for his daughter to someday see that "Love is calling out her name", just as his own mother once prayed over him. The chorus expresses the often forgotten Christian reversal of the world's principles, in the idea that "Love has the power to make the weakest man tower, to make the strongest man cower..." There is not a weak song on this album."
