"Albums of old soul tunes are often the last refuge of the creatively bankrupt, but Young, 60, brings something fresh to the genre with his song selection: he avoids the obvious Motown hits and concentrates instead on singles released through two fabled Memphis labels, Hi Records and Stax, between 1966 and 1975.Helped by American hip-hop producer Arthur Baker and a boisterous brass section, he trawls through the records of his youth to pay his respects to a golden era of southern soul".

"Happily, Young avoids obvious choices in his covers, a decision that lends some freshness to the album, a quality needed to counterbalance the buttoned-up production, which is suited for cocktail parties, not juke joints. Nevertheless, Young rides these grooves with elegance and his ever-so-slightly tattered voice lends a bit of grit, an element that helps elevate this pleasing record a notch above simple comfort".
