All Music Guide
All in all, Forgiven proves that Los Lonely Boys are around for the long haul, making records that separate their sound from their influences, and further establishes their identity as one of America's premier roots bands.

Billboard
With expectations tempered for Forgiven, the sibling trio from Texas doesn't panic but rather retrenches, returning to the easy-grooving, harmony-laden Carlos Santana-meets-Stevie Ray Vaughan feel of its first album.

Los Angeles Times
The ho-hum tunes on Forgiven won't flip your wig, but the playing-- particularly in the three cuts featuring Dr. John on the keys--oozes bone-deep feeling throughout.

Paste Magazine
Forgiven has bits and pieces, like a bunch of base hits, but not even one song possessing homer status, much less a grand slam like “Heaven.”
40
PopMatters
This record is an approximation of something real and true and traditionally resonant, but it ain’t anywhere near the real thing.

Blender
Its penitent but hopeful mood still suggests a Catholic equivalent of corporate Christian rock
