"From the very first notes of the opening "Come As You Are" Carne's otherworldly vocals soar over Muhammed's filthy bassline and Younge's guitar riffs in her impossibly high octave range, quickly reminding us that she still has those acrobatic gifts. "People of the Sun" and "Black Rainbows" are the kind of Afro-futurism we associate with Sun Ra as her voice just keeps lifting you higher and higher while the keyboards echo those cosmic strains from the early '70s ... She saves yet another terrific track, "Black Love," for the closer. In the vein of the two themes, love and spirituality, she points to the power of community. The vocals seem suspended in the air against a backdrop of B3 and synths, with one long sustained note to close it out. While this may be a celebration of perseverance, it heralds the re-emergence of Carne - so beautiful and so joyous that she lifts the listener higher with each track".

"Veteran soul singer rolls back the years in astounding new work: This, [Jean Carne's] first album in 26 years (...), has much in common with the singer's pre-Philly output for the Black jazz label during the early '70s. The opener, "Come as You Are", sets the tone with Carne's astral vocals soaring over a blend of woozy Rhodes chords, warbling synths and a deeply churning bassline. Carne's five-octave voice is astonishingly supple for a 75-year-old, shining brightly on "Black Rainbows" and "People Of the Sun", two delectable slices of trippy, interstellar soul-jazz".
