"As a longtime fan of Jimmy Somerville, I'd like to personally attest to this being his finest work. I have quite the varied range of musical tastes and this album easily makes my top 10 favorite album list. It is a crime that this CD has not received more airplay. I hope this fact will not prevent record companys from releasing future albums by this wonderful artist.
Do not let the fact that Jimmy sings in falsetto keep you from giving this amazing singer a listen. He is one of the greatest vocalist of our lifetime, with a strong dynamic range. (No I do not know him and I am not related to him.) I am just a huge fan of his vocal styling, who loves the fact his music has matured as he has, without losing a single bit of his vocal strength."

"Having been a fan of Jimmy Somerville and his amazing voice since the 80's, I took a chance on this CD sight unheard and I am BLOWN AWAY! There isn't a bad track on this CD and I'm amazed by the diversity and complete contemporary feel of the work as a whole. I truly believe this is some of the best work Jimmy has ever done. Not many performers can electrify you with the raw sexy power of "Come On" and then make you break out in tears on the very next track "It Still Hurts"! I cranked "Stay" up in my car and it almost shattered a window it's so powerful! This CD flows and spills over you like white hot Mercury and Jimmy's voice is so strong and in top form throughout never missing a note or failing to emote such feeling as I haven't heard from another performer in years. This is definitely a "Love at First Listen" piece of work and every friend I've played it for has gone out and bought a copy the next day. This is truly a masterpiece. Well done Mr. Somerville. I've fallen in love all over again..."
