UNSUNG
And as for the band onstage…You got it: gettin’ down. SERIOUSLY gettin’ down and with a fever of a hundred and twelve. Bobby Byrd’s roar of a baritone coming out of his beanpole carriage dressed in white and sporting a pair of badass wingtips. […]

The Absolute Sound
The horns and strings seem submerged while the vocals are sometimes too forward.

Stereophile
