"This record is a blast, with an exceptionally high level of musicality, songwriting, and production ... His honey-dripping, passionate, and stirring soul singing has a little Sam Cooke, a bit of Wilson Pickett, and a dash of Otis Redding.'On My Mind/In My Heart' has a tight groove, smooth hooks, and funky rhythms delivered by a full-throttle, superlative, big band".
