"This is a five-star, totally delicious—and for someone who'd just about given up on jazz vocalists, unexpected—smash of a debut"

"I thought singers like this didn't exist anymore, I was wrong, José James is here to remind us why we love music so much!"
- Gilles Peterson
"José James is continuing the legacy of the great jazz masters. With his extraordinary voice, timbered like an instrument, his ears that capture each Coltrane nuance, his lyricism - in his writings and in his passionate expression - the life of the music is being nourished by José James offerings.And when he sings, you can hear it smile."
- Janet Lawson
"Let us put away the dark days of 2006... and make some offerings to secure a more enlightened 2007. A good place to start is the forthcoming album by José James on Brownswood. The Brooklyn based jazz voice is set to follow in the steps of Jon Lucien... there's even a touch of Gil Scott Heron... we're definitely feelin' that version of Trane's Equinox..."
- Straight No Chaser
"A natural intimacy that very few people have."
- Andy Bey
"José James is the real deal! He has the voice, poise, charisma, and stage presence. All the ingredients... making him the most exciting singer I've heard in a long time!!"
- Junior Mance
