Rice scored a hit at AC radio with the whimsical "When Did You Fall (In Love With Me)" from his 2005 set "Amusing". Though mainstream programmers considered him a great new discovery, Rice was already a core artist in the Christian market with numerous hit singles and a Dove Award under his belt for male vocalist of the year."
  2. ^ CCM Magazine.com Review: "Other stand-out tracks include the nostalgic "Kids Again", the James Taylor-esque "Love Is Gonna Break Through", and the romantic "Punch Lines and Ironies".
  3. ^ Billboard, August 11, 2007, "Chris Rice has a marvelous way with words, creating songs that are sometimes whimsical, often poignant and always entertaining. This album's single "Lemonade" is the ultimate optimist's anthem and a perfect addition to AC radio's summertime playlists. The title track is a beautifully written ballad about what matters most in life, and Rice turns in a brilliant performance filled with passion and insight."
