"I love the soul/rock vibe of the album. Michael's voice is incredible and his talent is huge. The whole album is amazing and it's something you can listen over and over again. I recommend this album to everyone who loves rock/soul/bluesy music.

"Ever since we first saw him on American Idol Season 7, my wife and I knew this guy had talent!!! We were shocked to see him go so early in the competition--sadly, only 8th place!!! We thought he would at least be in the final two or three for sure! Needless to say, we have been waiting a long time for his album to come out, and it doesn't disappoint. It captures the bluesy, soulful side that he showed he had on American Idol. Most of his songs remind me of his performance of "It's All Wrong But It's All Right" on American Idol. My only complaint is that I wish he had some upbeat songs on this album that showed more of his rocker side, too. He proved he could really belt out the rock tunes during his stint on American Idol! He is definitely a talented guy, and we hope he has a long, successful music career. If you are a Michael Johns fan, you won't be disappointed with his debut album at all. Show your support, and go buy it today!!! :)"

""Hold Back My Heart" is a must have CD! Michael's soulful voice captures the audience on every track! There isn't an artist out there like Michael today.. If you thought Michael was good on idol wait until you hear this sexy, soulful, blusey CD! I'm so happy for all the success that he is about to endure! Great Job Michael, you so deserve this! 5 STARS!"

"If you want to hear a great soulful , heartfelt album , HBMH is the album for you. I love how his voice shows such feeling . There is a good range of songs , something for everyone , from Rock / soul to the blues . My favourite song on the album is Turn to You , a very simple acoustic rendition, but so effective."
