Christian Music Today recently posted their review of the Greatest Hits album. Although Love Is The Protest gets the thumbs up, they're not impressed with the album as a whole. However, the disappointment seems to be more with Essential Records than the band: If you absolutely need an official compilation, get The Essential Jars of Clay.

In case any fans are visiting this site out of curiosity over the band's current state because of the Greatest Hits CD, read these words Steve wrote for the band's latest bulletin post on myspace: ...We’ve tried to get the highlights – the songs you’d hear on the radio, and most importantly…include a newly recorded song! We wrote “Love Is A Protest” as a hopeful signpost in our musical journey.
