Ben Thompson's review in Churchman Autumn 2016 calls it "quite simply outstanding ... avoiding the danger of treating each psalm atomistically, and is enriched through attention to the wider context ... he identifies a melodic line to the Psalter -- "from suffering to glory" -- and shows how the overarching trajectory of the Psalms creates a Messianic expectation fulfilled in Jesus Christ". There is also "rich and warm application" into the Christian life.
