“Must-hear…Beautifully crafted…”
– Rolling Stone
“a loving, creative spin on an iconic artist’s work, crafted both for diehard reggae fans and as a gateway for more casual listeners.”
– Consequence of Sound
“Ostensibly, there’s little sonic overlap between reggae’s roots rock and British glam rock, yet Goldwasser’s nuanced, layered arrangements and crisp production create an expansive common ground, seamlessly meshing the originals’ celestial impressions with signature Jamaican sounds, including thunderous basslines, bubbling keyboards and flying cymbal drum patterns.”
– Billboard
