Reckless (Jeremy Camp album)

There is power in numbers!In addition, Jeremy Camp was asked the question in the same interview with Worship Leader that "In terms of production, what did you feel was most importantly communicated in the album?

I want it to be an encouragement to trust God and do what he says, no matter the cost!Lastly, Jeremy Camp was asked the question in the same interview with Worship Leader that "How does being reckless describe surrendering your life to Christ?

In 2 Corinthians chapter 4, Paul returned to Lystra after being stoned for witnessing to people in the city because He knew the Lord called him to go back.

Amidst the quality produced sound and familiar vocals we have grown accustomed to, this album ratchets up the passion and soul that makes Christian music so powerful.

"[7] Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday alluded to how "Camp's newest album Reckless has a cohesiveness and spiritual maturity that I can hear in every song.

"[13] In addition, Davis wrote that the album is "Filled with passionate songs birthed in the furnace of worship, prayer and intercession, Jeremy Camp's new studio album Reckless is a powerful experience calling the body of Christ to a revival and restoration in Christ with eleven brand new original songs.

Jeremy Camp's enthusiastic and reverent style of writing and singing praise and worship songs has consistently been a draw for me.

"[13] Shoji McGhee of ONCOURSE MAGAZINE found that "Thematically Reckless remains true to what Jeremy Camp fans would expect.

To this, Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote that "This is music that thrives on soaring choruses, tight hooks, gradual yet sweeping dynamic changes, etc.

"[3] Hannah Goodwyn of Christian Broadcasting Network evoked that themes of the album are that of "declaring God's greatness, His relevance and radical love.

"[5] Louder Than the Music' Jono Davies noted that "Jeremy has produced another solid album, with some great songs that his fans will really get into.

"[15] At Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings wrote that "All in all, this is an album which will find support from Camp's existing fans who probably won't even register the generic quality of many of the pop rock arrangements.

Matt Conner of CCM Magazine noted that "The pop/rock anthems on Reckless...resonate like his many hits to date, and fans should instantly swarm to new tunes like 'My God' and the title track.

"[4] Indie Vision Music's Jonathan Andre illustrated that "Despite a few hiccups within the song lineup ("Free" in particular), Jeremy has delivered a solid album anchored by the title track and how as we become more immersed in Christ and His unending and unequivocal love for us, the struggle that we sometimes can feel as we become more reckless for Him will become less of a struggle and more of a joy, both felt by ourselves and God in the whole process of abandoning every part of ourselves at His feet and trusting in the outcome- good or bad (as we perceive it).

"[10] Plus, Andre wrote that "Jeremy has done a great job in preparing and giving listeners a well deserved album full of enjoyableness and encouragement.

"[11] Consequently, Gelwicks criticized that "Despite some strong points, however, a lack of musical or lyrical complexity troubles some areas of Reckless.

With a career spanning over twelve years with accolades galore, Camp is one of the more experienced songwriters in the business, but some of the fruits of his labors don't show it very evidently on Reckless.

After the first couple tracks, Reckless declines in the areas of exceptionality, and the few bright spots scattered throughout the project aren't quite enough to save the album from the 'ordinary' category.
