AllMusic     [1]

Allmusic editor Dan LeRoy wrote that "despite its title, Things in the Game Done Changed doesn't mark any substantial shift in Hollister's formula: he still favors repetitive tunes rooted in gospel, substituting the ebb and flow of his powerful pipes for catchy hooks and melodies [...] There's still no hit that would give Hollister the recognition his voice deserves, but he's finally made an album as rock-solid as his singing style."[1]
