Reception edit

Diamond received mixed reviews. AllMusic notes that "the result (of the mixed genres of this album) is a somewhat jarring experience...In that respect, Diamond feels a little too self-conscious, too concerned about what the commercial prospects of the album would be rather than making a bold artistic statement".[4] Roger Gelwicks of Jesus Freak Hideout.com says that "Diamond doesn't feel very surprising in its execution, although this is probably the most radio-friendly Velasquez has ever been...songs with innovation and vibrancy just aren't to be found here".[5] Both Allmusic and Jesus Freak Hideout gave this album 3 out of 5 stars.[4][5]
