Pitchfork
Black Moses is brashly, lushlyand lovingly orchestrated, each track piled high with soundtrack strings, insistent horns, tender flutes, sultry back-up singersand of course lots of wakka-chikka guitars, a Hayes signature. […]

Uncut
Hip hop’s scavengers, needless to say, have endlessly plundered his back catalogue for riffs and samples. Black Moses would prove to be Ike’s apex – unless you count “Chocolate Salty Balls”, which of course you don’t. […]

Blogcritics
“Close to You” is the antithesis of the Carpenters version with female singers chanting and cooing over horns and conga drums until finally that unforgettable bass voice comes in and almost startles you! […]
