"Picked five years after the seeds were planted, The Midnight Hour was cross-pollinated by Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, who on this project synthesize orchestral soul and post-bop jazz as approached by golden-eared cratediggers augmented by numerous vocalists and musicians".

"By the midway point, The Midnight Hour becomes a bit too insular for the listener to share in its joys. The effect is a little like finding yourself at an exclusive party yet realizing you hardly know the folks who are having a ball with each other. The two musicians have tasked themselves with bridging generational and genre gaps between black music's multitudes, but The Midnight Hour finds them still fiddling with how to do so".

"In harsh times like these, it's good to take a pause now and then. With their long-gestating, Harlem Renaissance-inspired first full-length, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge have crafted a perfect chillout for the woke".
