Leading up to the release, WHEN I’M WITH YOU has received early critical acclaim:

"This is one of those “gourmet” albums that only comes along every once in awhile…This is one of the freshest and most authentic albums of the year." – NewReleaseTuesday.com

"One thing that I like to do when reviewing a release is as I’m listening to it if a song really strikes my fancy I’ll put an asterisk on my writing paper by its title. Usually I’ll have 1 or 2 songs marked but on this release I marked every song because as they played the high quality of music just kept flowing out of my stereo’s speakers." – CW Ross

"With transparency, grace, and evident humility, JJ Heller has given a beautiful offering of love to the listener's ears." – JesusFreakHideout.com

Leading up to the release, the song “What Love Really Means” has landed firmly on the radio charts, reaching #24 on the AC Monitored and #12 on the AC Indicator this week. In a surprising turn, the video for the song has seen unprecedented success, capturing over 100,000 views in it’s first week posted on YouTube. Filmed and edited by Nashville filmmaker John Moessner, the video reflects the simplicity of the song, which tells the story of normal people in their day-to-day struggle, asking to be loved just for who they are.

JJ and her band are currently half way through the Today Tour, playing alongside 33 Miles and Chris and Conrad.
