Toots Hibbert aside, Ken Boothe probably came closer than any other Jamaican singer of his generation to re-creating an island version of Memphis soul, and his gritty vocals on his frequent covers of American R&B hits often brought refreshing new dimensions to the songs. This collection is a bit on the hit-or-miss side, but it has enough strong tracks (including the powerful "Lay Some Lovin' on Me," the uplifting and hopeful "Freedom Street," and the poppy "It's Gonna Take a Miracle") to make it a passable introduction to the middle years of this interesting singer. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
