"He's got the lyric edge and rhythmic dexterity of a hip-hop freestylist (...) and his sound is both rooted in the modern Mississippi blues tradition and spiked with influences borrowed from neo-soul and contemporary southern soul blues. His voice is emotionally intense without being forced, and he's capable of both nuance and subtlety even at his most declamatory ... The stylistic and thematic leaps here might be a little jarring for listeners wanting to immerse themselves single-mindedly in a particular genre, aestethic, or mood - but open-eared adventurers of all stripes should find this disc satisfying".
