"I was looking for something else when I ran across FireFlight. I am often reluctant to buy Christian music because it appears to me that the message is often placed before the quality of the music. This is not the case here. Quality rock with a good message. It's almost strange to get an uplifting message when much of what is put out today is just the opposite. Great music and great buy."
More Hooks Than a Tackle Box

"This is album is the stuff of legends. You can expect to hear catchy rock riffs laid down with a unique, enjoyable guitar tone. Dawn Richardson's singing is irreplaceable because her voice is a perfect fit for bright, edgy music. Her lyrics are inspiring and powerfully relevant to the hurt and the broken who look for hope and freedom in Christ from all the pain and uncontrolled behaviors in their lives.
I liked almost every second of this album the first time I listened to it. Lyrically and musically this album has more hooks than a tackle box, and I'm certain this album is on its way to winning a Dove Award. There is no need for uncertainty; just go ahead and buy this album and see for yourself how good it is."
Some of the Best Contemporary (Christian) Music

"Fireflight offers upbeat, rocking Christian music that combines sensible, positive lyrics with music you can feel and appreciate for its artistic quality. The songs vary in style, but all are great. Perfect for your ipod for the car or running, etc."
A heathen's take

"I'm not Christian. The majority of "Christian pop" makes me gag at the unoriginality and the figurative beating over the head with the message. So it was with some surprise that when Fireflight's "Unbreakable" came up in my Pandora/Within Temptation stream and I was rocking out to it I learned that they're a Christian band. Pandora supplied a few more songs and I ended up buying the CD.
Fireflight doesn't have the dirge-like grind of Evanescence nor the teen angst of Paramore, the bands that most compare them to. Their sound is at once bright and heavy with hopeful lyrics. God is occasionally mentioned but not emphasized. Vocalist Dawn Richardson doesn't have the strongest voice but it's very emotional and there's moments where she reminds me of Pat Benatar. If you're a fan of female-fronted rock bands Fireflight is a nice surprise, and they could easily cross over into the mainstream without compromising their beliefs."
Wow...

"I just have to say there is true musical talent here. The guitar, drums, keyboard, and range of vocals is...wow. I am big on music and come from a family of music producers. From a non-christian point of view, this band is solid and I wish them much success for years to come. From a christian point of view, these lyrics reach across religious lines. It's goodness. It's good. Just listen."
