Reviews:
1. AllMusic by Ron Wynn
Andy Hamilton would have gotten raves if this album had been issued on a major label instead of World Circuit. Rounder has now issued it, and Hamilton's robust, swaggering tenor tone alone should open eyes and ears. Hamilton is joined by top stars from both America and England; David Murray and Jean Toussaint offer blistering solos on their cuts, while vibist Orphy Robinson, pianist Jason Rebello, and percussionist Mamdi Kamara provide sterling assistance. Hopefully, enough people will discover this release to get Hamilton another one; he certainly deserves it.
