Billboard 200 - #9, 2016 "... through arrangements elegant to a fault, his mercurial tenor, more supple and restrained, remains a marvel ..." - Rolling Stone "Four Stars ... Album of the Week ... the singer has created an album that’s not only one of his most gorgeous, but also one of his most humble ... glows with soft, quiet ballads, kissed by strings and lilting with keyboards. Hard blues, soul and R&B take a back seat to pop tunes with an elegant turn. Some of the lyrics may deal with the pain of pining but they’re delivered with unfiltered vulnerability ..." - MOJO "... finds the 71-year-old freshly reinvigorated, with the singer plunging as deep into his own sense of mystical self-discovery as he’s been since 2005’s Magic Time ... over ornate arrangements of piano, highly orchestrated string sections and delicate trumpets, Morrison reminisces about 70s Bay Area bohemia, gently recalls the Northern Irish countryside of his adolescence and expounds on the transcendence of hearing Sam Cooke on the radio ... (Morrison’s voice) has retained all of its deep expressiveness, still every bit the otherworldly musical instrument it’s been for the past half century ... Keep Me Singing proves once again that Morrison is always at his best when that’s the case. B+." - Entertainment Weekly Keep Me Singing has become the highest-charting album of Van Morrison's entire career, entering the Billboard 200 at number nine.
