Reception Specifying in a three and a half out of five review by Rapzilla, they recognizes, "Although 'City Lights' is not without its missteps (an unneeded feature here, a forgettable song there) these are hard to harp on considering the depth of this project. With this album, Json not only shows his capacity for being a consistently innovative artist, he sends out an S.O.S. on behalf of communities drowning in sin and calling for the Lifesaver." Josh Burkey, indicating in a four star out of five review for Indie Vision Music, responds, "Json's album 'City Lights' has a genuine message broadcasting throughout with a bang from ...

''Growing Pains'' is the fourth album from Json. Lamp Mode Recordings released the project on February 21, 2012. Reception Signaling in a four out of five review by Rapzilla, Nyon Smith recognizes, "Maybe Growing Pains would have had a greater impact had the aesthetically darker tracks preluded the more mainstream 'feel good' tracks. Regardless, Growing Pains is still an album that is greater than the sum of its parts." Michael Weaver, indicating for Jesus Freak Hideout in a four star out of five review, realizes, "While there are a couple of songs worthy of the skip button and one noticeably weak track, the remaining good songs are really good. Unashamed, Godly lyrics based in scripture rule ''Growing Pains'', and while it's not the most unique album musically, it's still solid." Signaling in a five star review by New Release Tuesday, Mark Ryan replies, "From top to bottom this album is solid... ndsuch a consistent piece of art."
