Following the chart position, Logan spoke to the Irish Independent saying "For a person who has been around as long as I have, this is incredible. I feel like the singer Bill Nighy plays in the film Love Actually, the guy who tops the charts by accident."[4]

Reception

Padraig Muldoon from WiwiBloggs said “"Prayin'" is completely different to his previous work. It's an anthemic rock song, which you could easily imagine being performed to a packed stadium. After a few listens it's very hard not to sing along. And despite its somber themes of death and loss it is oddly uplifting.”[4]
