"Stunning work from Alison Crockett -- a singer you may know from her earlier recordings with US3 and King Britt, emerging here as an incredibly talented artist who sounds even better on her own! Alison's got a rich sound that's based on years of singing on other folks' records, but hearing her here, it's like catching her act for the first time -- a startling debut that's filled with incredibly well-crafted tunes, deeply soulful vocals, and a rich musical palette that goes far beyond just simple beats and keys. The whole thing's great -- one of the best Neo Soul albums we've heard in a long time -- and you can take it from us that this will be one album you'll buy today, and play for years! Titles include "What We Do Now", "Crossroads", "UR", "Save Me", "You Know What Happens", "Like Rain", and "Nappy". (Reviewed at www.dustygroove.com)"
