"...embark on a futile bout of lexical tail-chasing as you endeavour to find adequate adjectives with which to catalogue his stunning, burnt sugar vocals."
- Stylus Magazine

"This is the type of album to get lost in-all gentle strumming, tuneful melodies, and carefully rendered chord progressions. Damon Aaron‘s startlingly powerful yet quietly introspective vocal delivery draws the listener into an intensely private world."
- XLR8R

"An unusual blend of deeply soulful singer-songwriter tunes in the tradition of Van Morrison, Seal with a dash of Sam Cooke and Ben Harper thrown in for good measure."
- Copper Press
