Reviews
...A classic crooner and a hip twentysomething jazz artist, all at the same time...Algemeen Dagblad
...His clarity, perfect timing and beautiful own sound enable us to call his voice a gem. Hamel is going to make it big...De Telegraaf
...Young, fresh, energetic, jazzy, swinging... At times it's like listening to an old record, at others it's like the channel has been changed to MTV...Parool
...For underground jazzfans and mainstream music lovers alike...MusicFrom.NL
...Blond Jazz God. Yes! We finally have our very own crooner!...Cosmopolitan
...All original songs that sparkle with their modern beats, big band sounds and his flexible loungy voice. Hamel is simply divine!...BN/De Stem
...Romantic strings, brassy horns, sturdy electronica, sultry flutes and mollifying music box-like tones, you will find all of this on this record, and often in one and the same song. A rich and very diverse album...Dagblad De Limburger
...Fresh and optimistic, the ultimate album for careless summers...Kindamuzik.nl
...Charm, looks, a voice like a young Sinatra, Wouter Hamel has it all...Esta
...Benny and Wouter deliver a lighthearted and sweet masterpiece, both danceable and deep...FRET
...Delightful, lazy songs varied with funky tunes...Flair
..Groovy, jazzy songs, a beautiful sound quality in his voice and strong compositions...Planet.nl
... These jazzy songs are secretly pop songs, easy to sing along to and almost annoying in the way they cling to you...Viva
...As if Frank Sinatra got out of a time machine and started two stepping on MTV...Intermediar
