"While, at just short of 50 minutes, Tribute is concise by the early-2010s standard, its unflagging succession of belters is both impressive and fatiguing, delivered with a supreme level of grieving conviction and hefty productions seemingly designed for the sake of filling stadiums and megachurches. In small doses, Newman's work here provides quite an impassioned jolt, but as the songs continue to chug and careen, it begins to sound more like a bludgeoning, or an elaborate, combative response to being asked to tone it down a little".

"Vurdering: 4/6" - "23-årige John Newman lever op til sit efternavn, da han som et ret ubeskrevet blad debuterede på musikscenen sidste år, som gæstesanger på Rudimentals hit Feel The Love ... Debutalbummet er en hyldest til al den musik, der har inspireret Newman gennem tiderne, og der er en del soul-legender at finde iblandt, men også meget andet end det. Stilen er dog retro-soul gennem hele albummet. Ud over at synge har Newman også været med til at skrive og producere alt på albummet".
