"Conte identifies Let Your Light Shine On as a celebration of African American spiritual jazz ... It is, in fact, more groove-based soul-jazz than black-consciousness driven spiritual-jazz. But it is indisputably top-drawer jazz, and Conte's band - which includes Scandinavians, Italians, African Americans and African Caribbeans among its admirably cross-cultural lineup - features some great musicians".

"Virtually every track on this hour-long set illustrates a hyperreal portrait of Conte and Spiritual Galaxy as a canny, well-seasoned unit capable of pulling off anything they wish, while exploring the rest for future excursions".

"This is Afro-soul filtered through an Italian DJ/guitarist in a South African studio with a lot of American and Swedish instrumentalists. This worldly music, made by a worldly crew and meant to groove without interruption, draws most of its substance from the propulsion and repetition of Africa's pop diaspora dating to the 1970s - but with a digital polish".
