Horace Corn review in The Beat magazine:
...The arrangements are unusual with backing vocals that sound like at times three angels or a church choir contingent appearing when last expected. Equally unexpected was the sudden appearance of Twinkle Brothers Norman Grants distinctive backing vocals on Let your love light shine. The songs are superb. Holy Mama Africa, Out of your sleep and slumber and False Prophecy are only three of many tunes whose lyrics aim at a higher level of consciousness for all human kind. The recordings has a feeling that might alternatively be described as intimate or box-like, but once you adjust to it youll find its reminiscent of a similar feel in the recordings of Lloyd Bullwacki Barnes or . Holy of holy - Coxson Dodds Studio One. A thoroughly enjoyable turn-of-the-(next)-century roots effort from a new artist worth watching for...

King of kings, lord of lords, the conquering lion from the tribe of Judah has prevailed to be the prince of peace, ruler of earth. I and I do not eat bloody meat, neither drink alcohol, neither use drugs. I and I do not play any dishonest role to get material or vaniterial values. I and I work self sufficiently to acquire this livity I live. I and I make full use of life natural resources, mentally, physically and skillfully. As a Rasta man, I and I consume vegetables, herbs, fruits and ital juices. Cook I own food, bless it and give thanks for life. Who Jah love, no man curse. To eat from your own hands, what a joy! In the midst of the ocean, the fools are still thirsty. I live not for greed, neither for shallow knowledge, which has no use, but to observe and broaden this scope of love for life to its mentionable pinnacle..."
