- ^ Billboard, August 4, 2007, Page 40 "His new disc, "What a Heart Is Beating For", arrived July 17, and Rice has been busy promoting the set to two different markets. Rice scored a hit at AC radio with the whimsical "When Did You Fall (In Love With Me)" from his 2005 set "Amusing". Though mainstream programmers considered him a great new discovery, Rice was already a core artist in the Christian market with numerous hit singles and a Dove Award under his belt for male vocalist of the year."
- ^ CCM Magazine.com Review: "Other stand-out tracks include the nostalgic "Kids Again", the James Taylor-esque "Love Is Gonna Break Through", and the romantic "Punch Lines and Ironies".
- ^ Billboard, August 11, 2007, "Chris Rice has a marvelous way with words, creating songs that are sometimes whimsical, often poignant and always entertaining. This album's single "Lemonade" is the ultimate optimist's anthem and a perfect addition to AC radio's summertime playlists. The title track is a beautifully written ballad about what matters most in life, and Rice turns in a brilliant performance filled with passion and insight."
