"Bibb is totally adept at marrying the African roots of blues with the American styles, is more than willing to share the spotlight with gifted musicians from all over the globe and is fearless in his approach where commentary on the current state is ultimately positioned as cries for a hopeful future. It may be rather bold to mark this as Bibb's best, considering his impressive 40-year body of work, but it should certainly earn another Grammy nomination or two. It's clearly among the best of this year's roots music albums".

"Eric Bibb bites off a lot in making Global Griot: going from traditional to modernized, Western to African, spiritual to topical. Oftentimes, he's putting both ends of each spectrum together. But if there's anyone who can chew all that up and distill it into a meaningful, articulate document about delivering stories and messages through the universal power of music, it's this guy".

"At the very top of his game, Bibb's singing is pitch and tonally perfect, his guitar playing effortlessly complements the other varied components, and his songwriting (displaying all his usual preoccupations: Family, humanity, enviroment, spirituality) is as strong as ever. All the musicians play superbly and all the collective vocalists raise there voices impessively".
