Pitchfork
Throw Down Your Arms is certainly authentic.
-
The Guardian
Yes, it's a reggae covers set. And far better than you'd expect.
-
Pop Matters
O'Connor has always feasted on forbidden fruit, while enticing her audience to join in or push off.
-
All Music
There's no debating that Sinéad O'Connor is one of the great singers to come from the pop world in the late 20th century.
-
RTE
A puzzling record.
-
Compulsive Reader
O’Connor’s voice is forceful: accusation becomes her, as does denunciation. There are not many singers who can move easily between the girlish and the prophetic.
-
CLUAS
'Throw Down Your Arms' is a warm and likeable reggae sampler put together by a trio of talented artists, nothing more or less.
-
Rebel Base
Sinead does not attempt to sound the least bit Jamaican and maybe that's a good thing. What remains is a sincere and beautiful tribute to reggae and Rastafari.
-
Entertainment
She may not have calmed down much since then, but she remains as compelling an artist as ever.
-
NOW Toronto
Irish waif Sinéad O'Connor tries reggae and doesn't embarrass herself.
-
OC Register
It’s worth savoring. But none of it outshines the originals.
