"Soul Jazz's excellent collection… even without the history, the importance, and the ins and outs, this music isn't as much of an intellectual pursuit as it is a pleasure in every note… tremendously tight vocal arrangements… just chock full of creativity, developing a unique sound in every single." Pitchfork
"This stunning compile… perfectly articulates rocksteady's correlation with sweet, sweet soul music… Heart-warming, life-affirming stuff." Stack Magazine, Australia
"Songs of love and lust had never channelled such a rich slice of cultural and social life as here" Wire Magazine
