"Best New Reissue" - "Long considered an outlier in her catalog, Nina Simone's newly reissued 1982 album is an intimate and immense portrait, a culmination of Nina Simone's frustrations molded into a jarring personal statement".

"Recorded at a time when Simone was feeling rejuvenated by her surroundings and by the African musicians she met in her newly adopted France, Fodder On My Wings is an essential Simone album that is making a long-overdue reappearance".

"With the possible exception of John Coltrane, no jazz artist from the '50s and '60s has had their iconic status recharged more powerfully in the present than Nina Simone, whose fierce expressions of black pride and womanhood reverberate more than ever. She was suffering from mental illness when she recorded Fodder On My Wings (...) in France in 1982. But she transcends her condition, radiating joy with upbeat tunes and artfully reining in her anger on the laments".

"Nina Simone var aldrig karrig med at dele ud af sine meninger. Titlerne (...) viser den kendte, aggressive og voldsomt skuffede kvinde, som hun udviklede sig til, men hun er decideret pjattet på "Il Y A Un Beaume Á Gilead" og "Liberian Calypso". Vi får også en yderst personlig udgave af Gilbert O'Sullivans tåreperser "Alone Again (Naturally)", hvor Simone sætter sin egen tekst om sin fars død til den smukke melodi. Det fedeste er musikken; stort set alle medvirkende er afrikanske, i Paris bosiddende musikere, som sammen med Nina Simone skaber et værk, der ikke ligner noget andet hun har bedrevet i sine sidste år. Hun spiller selv forrygende klaver og synger sjælen ud".
