Released on the 3rd Stone label in February 2001, "Returning Jesus" is British art rock band No-Man's fourth album.

A collection of ambitious songs which combined Classical, Jazz, Soul and Ambient influences in an original and emotional way, the album received good reviews in "Q", "Uncut" and "Classic rock". Additionally, having signed to Lava/WEA, the increasing profile of Steven Wilson's work with Porcupine Tree brought the No-Man name to a new audience.

One of the guest musicians on the album was Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin,who played Double Bass.

Unusually, the tracks "All That You Are" and "Carolina Skeletons" were released as singles, in the first case two years after the album's release (February, 2003) and in the latter three years prior to it (October, 1998).

The album's more atmospheric traits were further explored on 2003's follow-up, "Together We're Stranger".

In August 2006, the album was released in a limited edition triple vinyl format on the Dutch label, Tonefloat. This edition included outtakes, demos and b-sides taken from the recording sessions (which spanned 7 years).
