About this album
It is generally considered to be Dylan’s last overtly religious, Christian album. Also, it was his first since becoming born-again to focus on secular themes, from straight-ahead love songs to an ode to the deceased comedian Lenny Bruce. Arrangements are rooted more in rock’n’roll, less in gospel than on Dylan’s previous two albums.
At the time of its release, Shot of Love received mixed reviews; Paul Nelson of Rolling Stone in particular savaged the album, though he did single out the last track, “Every Grain Of Sand,” as a stand-out. Shot of Love, while reaching UK #6, continued Dylan’s US commercial decline, reaching #33 during a brief chart stay. By contrast, Bono of Irish band U2 described Shot of Love as one of his favourites, particularly due to Dylan’s singing ability.

I love the soft pop sound, and it's not as badly written as Slow Train Coming, nor boring like Saved.

It has nothing to do compared to Saved. Good, but not great. Property of Jesus is AWESOME, and i'm not a christian.

I think it's the best of Dylans "Christian Trilogy" [2] Shot of Love is actually one of my favourite Dylan albums period. So underrated.

I like this so much more than Saved. Not Dylan's best record by any stretch, but it's actually not bad.

I agree. In the Rolling Stone review of this album, at the end, he asks "If Bob Dylan is such a God loving man, why would be so pissed at the world?" It just goes to show the ignorance of the low 2/5 star rating because of course Jesus was angry several times. The Bible says that Christians should hate and despise sin, to let God take you out of the pattern of this world.

The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar,In the Summertime,.,but Every Grain of Sand just got the most beautiful,compelling lyrics!!So full of truth.It takes my breath away every time I hear it.Touching, sublime,I always picture myself walking along the beach by myself whilst listening to it.Looking up into the sky,upon the horizon,beyond time and space.Possible one of the best Hymns of modern times
