"Like all the best albums, Amadou Diagne's latest sets the tone from the get go: plaintive, acoustic and brimming with an unhurried assurance. This is the second album from Bath-based Senegalese singer-guitarist Diagne, following a perfectly decent debut on Riverboat Records last year ... Ten originals, plus three traditional tunes, all imaginatively arranged and all featuring Diagne's honey-smoked vocals ... [Violinist/producer Griselda] Sanderson's sympathetic playing is a major contributor. It's becoming something of a cliché to compare every interesting new acoustic West African album to Baaba Maal's classic Djam Leelii, but sometimes only a cliché will do".
