"Album of the week" - "Jones's final album, released roughly a year after her death, is a throwback in all the right ways: a vintage soul record that thumbs its nose at the 21st century in favour of era-specific methods and concerns. Recorded on eight-track, with frisky instrumentalists called, for example, Fernando "Bugaloo" Velez, and taking up just a lean, mean 36 minutes of your time, it is not really one of those albums in which a feted - or fated - singer mulls their approaching end, but a record replete with drama and succour that wrestles with the messy business of being alive".

"When Sharon Jones died of pancreatic cancer last year, the world lost its greatest exponent of vintage soul; that she'd first hit her stride in the '00s with the revivalist, detail-obsessed Daptone label, made the accomplishment all the more striking. Recorded over her last two years with longtime sidemen, genre-masters all, Jones meets darkness with hope on this denouement".
