"Imagine an above-average Dylanesque street busker managing to record an album with fairly full and imaginative arrangements, and you're somewhat close to the atmosphere. Rodriguez projected the image of the aloof, alienated folk-rock songwriter, his songs jammed with gentle, stream-of-consciousness, indirect putdowns of straight society and its tensions".

"A flop when originally issued in 1970, Rodriguez's debut - a patchwork of folk, psychedelic rock, and pop production, built around a workman-like voice and simple melodies - found an unexpected audience in the Southern Hemisphere, due to its blunt urban commentary and unique sound".

"Skåret ud af sin samtid emmer Sixto Diaz Rodriguez' genudgivne 1970-album 'Cold Fact' af frihedstrang, autoritetsskepsis og oprør ... I Sydafrika voksede det rebelske album til en af de mest spillede plader under apartheid ... Sangene er simple ørehængere, stemmen er hårdt skåret, og med guitar, horn og strygere vender og drejer 'Cold Fact' sig et sted mellem psykedelisk folk, fundamental blues og knoklet soul. Det hele sat spektakulært op i Både lyd og orkestrering, og selv om ikke alle sange har haft godt af tidens nådesløse kværnen, er albummet med fuldtræfferøjeblikke som 'Rich Folk Hoax' og 'Crucify Your Mind' et vellykket bagholdsangreb fra fortiden".
