"Tobago-legende Calypso Rose blev for to år siden blev budt op til dans af Manu Chao på det genre-revitaliserende album 'Far From Home'. Nu er den 78-årig calypsodronning klar til at forlænge comebacket og tage flere lyttere i caribisk musikskole med en blanding af egne sange og calypsofortolkninger ... Calypso Rose når musikalsk ikke op på niveau med forgængeren, men hun synger sig ubesværet rundt i en farverig palet af caribisk musik. Hun formår endda at give de sociale kommentarer i 'Rum & Coca Cola' sart, nyt liv og minder os om, at der både er gang i dansen og protesten til et calypsokarneval".

"So Calypso!, on witch Rose mixes re-recordings of songs from throughout her career with cover versions of her favorites and musical inspirations ... The album certainly has its moments and Rose remains in fine voice as she approaches her ninth decade. but the production is generally a lot more conventional than on 'Far From Home' and the material sometimes much cheesier. Especially those covers. Do we really need another version of 'Underneath The Mango Tree' or 'Rivers Of Babylon', however well preformed?".
