Crossroads Radio, Netherlands
"...a five-star album." (Jos van den Boom)
Fish Records, U.K.
"Full of strong songs that are well arranged and produced and directly delivered by Marybeth’s distinctive, slightly plaintive vocals...The balance of the album is pretty much perfect..."(Neil Pearson)
Heaven Magazine, Netherlands
"D'Amico's heartfelt vocals are steeped with melancholy and regret, supported by Kopp's and Maines' velvety yet piercing accompaniment. These 10 strong self-penned songs are totally convincing..." (Ruud Heijjer)

Ctrl Alt Country, Belgium
"After listening to Marybeth D'Amico's Heaven, Hell, Sin & Redemption for the first time, we were pretty stunned. The Germany-based American singer has made an album with material of such quality that it calls to mind great names like Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin or Tift Merritt...The songs really get under your skin, revealing Marybeth to be a very talented storyteller. We're pretty sure we'll be hearing a lot more from D'Amico in the future." (Benny Metten)
Cultural Podium Roepaen, Holland
"Marybeth is reminiscent of Kathleen Edwards. Her debut CD is very convincing."
NetRhythms, UK
"Melody-driven, surprisingly upbeat-sounding songs that trade stories of characters with shadowy secrets and often dubious habits." (David Kidman)7 of 10 points, Roots Highway, Italy
"(With) the launch of Heaven, Hell, Sin and Redemption (great title), we immediately understand that Marybeth will be a sure musical harbor in times to come.
(Gianni Zuretti)
Hooked-on-Music, Germany
"A first-rate ten song debut...short stories that, with their many facets, live up to the name Heaven, Hell, Sin & Redemption. A mature performance, both lyrically and musically: truly recommended." (Frank Ipach)
Rootsville, Belgium
...“A must-have cd, it's a cracker... go get yourself a copy!!!" (François Braeken)
Real Roots Cafe, Holland
"The moving stories are dark, but they are wrapped in well-crafted melodies that have their roots in Americana, folk and poprock....A remarkable album that will no doubt find it’s way to its' target audience." (Jan Janssen)
Mescalina, Italy
"Lovely acoustic songs of a rare beauty...ten tracks that succeed in confirming the uniqueness of this original artist, definitely to be discovered for the stories she tells and the way she tells them. (Massimo Sannella)
Rootstime, Belgium
"...melodious melancholy that you unfortunately seldom hear on the radio these days." (Valère Sampermans)
