RARB’s Praise for Behind Bars:
Elie Landau writes that “there is a great deal to enjoy. The opener is the first a cappella version I've heard of Be Here and it's a terrific job all around by soloist and arranger Darius Bates, who turns in another solid solo on Gavin DeGraw's Meaning.” Bring Me to Life is “an energetic, engaging track, made all the more impressive by the knowledge that the group was singing it back in 2002, before most everyone else was. Thank You doesn't show much inventiveness but, despite the resemblance to the original, grooves nonetheless.” Guang Ming Whitley loved the “lush and interesting Eleanor Rigby.” Ryan Joyce writes that “Behind Bars is forty-three minutes of high energy, well executed, and generally pleasurable a cappella boasts a track list of both a cappella favorites and uncommon, riskier tracks. Obstacle 1 and Bachelorette are great examples of how production can work to a track's benefit. […] Meaning succeeds with its smart, creative arrangement, and rousing but not overly complicated sound. The result is a standout track.” He applauds “Meryl Zimmerman’s near flawless solo on Thank You (whose scatting was reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald's live recording of Mack The Knife)” and comments that “the soloists are consistently strong, but Darius Bates and Elysa Kahan stand out on Meaning and Bachelorette, respectively. But above all, Mosaic Whispers knows how to end an album right. Fix You is five minutes of near perfection, with its simplicity and superior solo outclassing, in my opinion, the recent Off the Beat recording. John Michael Rotello and group fire on all cylinders for the first four and a half minutes, but as good as the rest of the song is, the last thirty seconds are even better. It's a perfect end to very good album.
