"Without a grand ovation or pointed intention, Crowder has done on American Prodigal what few artists can ever achieve-he has evolved without losing himself. In taking on the influences and colors of each other, he has discovered his most vibrant self yet." - CCM (cover story)
"American Prodigal could be Crowder's best work yet. The rock and soul get you out of your seat, and the gospel is pure. It's everything you'd hope for in a worship album but never quite expect." - HM Magazine
"Crowder Music's voice and the heart evident in his songs are the common threads for longtime listeners, even as he continues to expand into new musical territory with each new release. With so many influences, American Prodigal has an orchestral, epic feel to it, not unlike a movie soundtrack" - Patheos

The first single off of the new album, "My Victory," is currently No. 13 on the Christian Airplay Chart.
