“Josh Wilson builds on the momentum of his prior efforts on See You, offering enough upbeat, inspirational, contemporary pop to fully deserve that mythical label of "crossover appeal." Wilson has the charm of Bruno Mars, the lyrical exploration of Brandon Heath, and the humble confidence of Chris Tomlin.”- All Music Guide.com

“Singer-songwriter Wilson may remind you of Jason Mraz and John Mayer, but that’s not an entirely fair comparison, because he’s better than those guys. This is a solid album by a rising star.”-Group Magazine

“With a unique ability to take ordinary life experiences and turn them into soul-stirring lyrics, Josh Wilson is a songwriter's songwriter. Wilson's latest album, See You, is a brilliant collection of songs that will take listeners on a musical journey of reflection and God's redemption. This album draws you in from the first note and never lets you go.”-Baptist Standard

“Josh writes catchy folk-pop style melodies and story-songs and if you like Bebo Norman, Matthew West and Jason Gray, then you should really enjoy Josh Wilson. I can’t get enough of this album, sure to be one of my top albums of 2011. Josh invites you into his life in such an authentic and relatable way, you’ll feel like you are a lifelong friend after you hear this album.”-ChristianMusicReview.org

In addition to the rave reviews, Wilson’s single “I Refuse” is continuing to fly up the radio charts, currently in the Top 20 at AC Monitored, AC Indicator, CHR and Top 15 on the National Audience Chart.
