"Laugh to Keep from Crying is a document of urgency and intensity but also one of fun, joy, and togetherness. Its rediscovery makes you wonder how many other amazing records are sitting on shelves somewhere, waiting for time to catch up with them".

"Some of it's quite rough and ready but there's no denying that the Nat Turner Rebellion deserve the place they never really achieved in musical history. This is our chance to redress the balance".

"A heady brew of funk, rock, soul and militant Black Power politics fuels the Nat Turner Rebellion's long-lost debut album, finally coming out half a century after it was made ... It's easy to overpraise an archival re-release like this because we all love the romantic notion of the "lost classic," but there's a strong argument that if it had come out at the time we would still be celebrating it today".
