Praise for Blessings and Miracles:
“Meeting once again at the intersection of American pop and Latin flair, [Rob] Thomas showcases his signature vocals over Santana’s dizzying guitar, congas and a lively horn section…there’s a similarly gigantic energy [to ‘Smooth’] on ‘Move’ that’s fit for both afternoon cookouts and dance clubs.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“‘Joy,’ as its title suggests, is a celebratory, uplifting track, though that euphoria is couched in a heavy, yearning groove that blends elements of reggae, blues, gospel, and country.”
– Rolling Stone
“On ‘Move,’ it sounds as if 22 years never passed since ‘Smooth.’” – American Songwriter
“[‘Move’ is] a summery Latin rock single” – Billboard
“As per the name, the track [‘Joy’] is a joy to listen to, and was composed by [Santana and Stapleton] with the intention of being a ‘healing force’ to combat ‘fear in the world’. And how do the duo go about achieving this goal? Well, with some irresistible guitar licks, smooth grooves and dense vocal swirls, of course.” – Guitar World
“The latest album from the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and San Francisco icon follows a similar formula to 1999’s triumphant ‘Supernatural,’ with a guest list that is just as sparkling…But the most meaningful additions for the Latin blues rock pioneer are probably the vocals and keyboards from his son Salvador on ‘Rumbalero’ and the lead vocals by his daughter Stella on ‘Breathing Underwater.’ – San Francisco Chronicle
“It’s the best kind of duet album, allowing Santana to sound like himself while at the same time allowing guest artists to do what they do best.” – RIFF Magazine
“A genuine representation of Santana’s music as they roll into another decade.” – Ultimate Classic Rock
