"Frankie Paul Has A Voice That Improves With Each Release And Although Initially Compared With Dennis Brown He Has Evolved A Strange Nasal Throaty Style That Makes Him Sound Much Older. It's The Sheer Exuberance Of His Best Performances That Give Away His Youthfulness And His Two London Appearances Have Been Joyous Occasions." - NME 4 May 1985 Discography Albums
