Back cover contains an excerpt from Perry Sparrow at Jazzaholic Review.
"AFTER YOU have listened to this CD single in its entirety you may look back in surprise, as I did, at the variety of moods and dynamics achieved simply by a computer, accordion and vocals. Håkan Lidbo is among the few producers ever to have reached comparable results with this kind of instrumentation. However, Barbilla Suffreviva was never confronted with the challenge. He just plays his accordion with the feel and intensity that has earned him the reputation as one of the world's greatest accordion players. But what really makes this single is the voice of the amazing James Gicho, and a set of powerful melody lines that take the listener on a journey of what seems to be a never ending flow of ideas. Though there are many paths for the pursuer of new soul talent to follow these days, it's unlikely that he will find a better paved or more eventful road than James Gicho."
