"The plainspoken title The Psalms may suggest a straightforward gospel album, but this 2017 album is anything but straightforward ... The result is striking, unlike anything Jessi Colter has ever released: it's hushed and haunting, an elegiac testimonial to the power of enduring faith.".

"The record is an intimate portrait of a spiritually mature woman spending time with her Lord. It is for God first, for herself second, and then for those who want to join Colter in meditating on the randomly selected passages".

"This isn't something you'll sing along with, nor should it be. Colter is noticeably moved by these words written centuries ago, generally praising the Lord. That authenticity is reflected in the serious, affecting compositions and especially Colter's soulful connection to the words ... The album's appearance almost a decade removed from its inception is not random; it coincides with Colter's own autobiography, scheduled a few weeks after the disc's release date. Still, it's impossible not to be moved by The Psalms and regardless of your religious affiliation, this is a unique and poignant album that was clearly a labor of love for all involved".
