Rolling Stone
As a confessional artist in the post-Freudian era, Simon has set his course through the world of the analytical, not the spiritual. But he’s smart enough to wonder if there are more things in heaven and earth than are known in his philosophy. Smart enough to wonderand to know the rhythm of the saints when he feels it. […]

Blogcritics
While not as well known as Graceland, The Rhythm of the Saints deserves to be known as more than “Graceland’s followup.” It represents Simon’s gift as a lyricist and catalyst in bringing together seemingly disparate musical forms, creating a beautiful, unusualand exotic mixture. […]

Stylus
That kind of unobtrusive heartbreak, poetry even, is characteristic of The Rhythm of the Saints, a record that keeps things understated despite drafting a three-continent team of musicians, that marks the peak of Simon’s sonic wanderlust. […]
