Empire, December 2020:"Almost two years after his last studio album The Key, the German multi-instrumentalist with the stage name JohnRose presents a new work. When listening to the new songs, it quickly becomes clear that Wings is another clear step in the right direction. The songs are very varied and coherent and very well produced. It skilfully varies between short, crisp rock songs like Change! or Pay the Price and melancholic, slightly progressive epics like How could I be so blind. The title track Wings reveals ballad-like singer-songwriter qualities, while songs like “Treasure " or The one I want perfectly summarize the entire range of JohnRose's art in five minutes. The other songs are also convincing in their own way. Particularly noteworthy are the almost six-minute Toward the sun, a prime example of JohnRose's charismatic music, and the final ballad This time remains, untypically sung partly in German and partly in English. This gives the song a special flair. A relaxed, beautiful album. Keep it up!"
