Will Smith of the Omaha World-Herald wrote: "A note bending, gospel based direction akin to Stevie Wonder's is the product of singer D.J. Rogers. The uplifting nature of Rogers' tunes, lyrics and arrangements makes "Love Brought Me Back" (Columbia JC 35393) special." [4] Sam Caputo of the Courier News wrote: "I haven't heard a more solid album of soul music in a long time. D.J. Rogers has been making albums for years but has not garnered the all-encompassing fame of Stevie Wonder, whose music his resembles. Rogers is completely responsible for the resemblance (although he may not be aware of it) as he sang, composed, arranged, produced, conducted and played keyboard for the entire album." Caputo added "The album is great for dancing and Rogers writes lyrics which are slightly better than Stevie's." [5] Elton Alexander of the Dayton Daily News said: "Not bad stuff. Produced, written, arranged and conducted by Mr. Rogers, this platter will do well in any record collection. A lot of brass and hard-driving soul, especially in the title tune. This man has some talent and displays it well." [6]
