"Like all of Foster's albums, this one contains a diverse selection of bluesy material with a folk-rock edge and a gospel bottom. In fact, Joy Comes Back may be her most heterogeneous record yet ... She has a commanding presence and a nuanced sensibility that she learned in church as a young girl. You could say the music here is truly the rock of ages".

"Foster casts her net wide, dredging up classic blues from Mississippi John Hurt ("Richland Woman Blues"), contemporary country from Chris Stapleton ("What Are You Listening To?), and classic heavy metal from Black Sabbath ("War Pigs"), but what unites the album is the warm, supple energy of the band and Foster's aching ease".

"Like Bonnie Raitt and Delbert McClinton, two other artists who push against the notion of being defined solely as "blues artists," Foster deserves more than to be relegated to any particular niche. An artist well suited to take center stage, Ruthie Foster has more fully and forcibly arrived".

"Simply put, the Austin, Texas-based singer and guitarist sounds better than ever - her rich, powerful mezzo bursts with emotion on every track ... Foster's vocals soar to the heavens on her wistful original Open Sky and plummet to the depths on a particularly fine version of War Pigs ... Full of majestic singing and playing to match, Ruthie Foster's Joy Comes Back is a triumphant arrival".
