Have a Little Faith is the sixth solo studio album by the American soul and gospel singer Mavis Staples, which was released by Alligator Records.
"[6] Have a Little Faith initiated a period in which Staples returned to recording on a more regular basis, and in which there was a resurgence of interest in her work.
[7] In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek called the album "a glorious return for Staples... capable of inspiring those who are lucky enough to encounter it," and noted that "one can feel the presence and influence of Pops on these sides.
Have a Little Faith is a glorious album of tremendous emotional depth, a work that reaffirms Staples' place among the finest singers in modern American music.
"[12] The Chicago Reader's David Whiteis praised the track titled "God Is Not Sleeping," on which "her choked delivery approaches the wracked spiritual fervor that made her 50s Vee-Jay performances some of the most apocalyptic in the gospel canon.
