"Singleton's guitar work emphasizes a soaring - and often searing - upward-arcing linearity, and both his vocals and his band arrangements are complex and challenging ... It's difficult - some might say almost impossible - to create music that sound both firmly rooted in blues tradition and fearlessly dedicated to breaking boundaries blazing new paths. That, however, is what Jarekus Singleton sounds dedicated to doing. This CD shows that he's already well on his way to accomplishing that daunting task".

"Det er absolut ikke forkert, når Jarekus Singleton beskrives som en mand, der presser sine strenge som en bluesveteran, synger som en soulman og formulerer sig som en rapper ... Varieret, velformuleret, nutidigt og modent som sin kollega Selwyn Birchwood, men med en mere energisk, konstant næsten påtrængende stil som salig Son Seals".
