"Global riddims from the "Undisputed Originator of World Beat" just keep coming at you. As Joe Higgs states in the liner notes "This album has emphasized Dan's versatility and essence of musicality". As always, the band is large and hot. Founding band member Paul Constantine contributes his always soulful Chet Baker-esque trumpet stylings. Steady behind the scenes support of the Roch Bros. and a batch of hard songs combine to make this a murderous disc. Highly recommended. Not for the timid."

The last and the best

"Unfortunately this is the last album from the undisputed king of Worldbeat. Yes it is tragic when any great performer passes. Dan Del Santo left us with a great album. What is worldbeat? Well if you like reggae mix in jazz,soul,african rhythems, and more and you have worldbeat. Del Santos voice has got to be the deepest i've ever heard. And after seeing him a few times at local reggae clubs i was hooked. His music is about the downtroden,the hungry, and oppressed people around the world. Just check out the song [Desmond Tutu] and you'll know what i mean. A great album all around."
