Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - p.106
4 stars out of 5 -- "Toasting over bass-driven versions of early reggae hits, he slayed rival DJs with pointed cultural and religious commentary and his trademark James Brown-ish shrieks and yells."Uncut - p.98
4 stars out of 5 -- "Youth remains one of the most playful and engaging lyricists in reggae music, but here the rhythms and melodies behind the words are allowed to sparkle, too."The Wire - p.72
"Highlights are 'Pride And Joy Rock', a version of Leroy Smart's 'Pride And Ambition' and the title track, whose complicated lineage can be traced back to Willie Cobb's R&B hit 'You Don't Love Me'..."Mojo (Publisher) - p.121
5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t was this ex-hotel mechanic and cab driver's easeful toasting and dextrous weaving that raised the beam to an iconic conscious level."Mojo (Publisher) - 8/02, p.76
Included in Mojo's 50 Greatest Reggae Albums - "...A winning blend of politics and humor..."Record Collector (magazine) - p.91
