"Adamo is a brilliantly creative talent whose recordings are so hip, so singular that they're something that you don't just listen to; you experience them. From his past efforts, we know that he dwells in a world where words are 'sing-spoke,' told with a heavy dollop of jazz names served up Cool. He's a griot whose game is not rap and it's not 'vocalese,' but a love child of both genres. It's an acquired taste, for sure. But, it's musical heroin— one just gets hooked." —Nicholas F. Mondello, All About Jazz
