Reviews:

"On the album...you'll hear a young Peter Broggs, blessed with a fragile voice, singing and chanting over some wicked riddims. There's a cover of Sugar Minott's River Jordan, reworkings of Studio One classics but most tracks are original songs. The message throughout the album is strictly cultural. The backing by The Roots Radics is just wicked, recorded at Channel One with Bunny Tom Tom as engineer. The awesome mix was done by a young Scientist at King Tubby's. In its entirety I regard the album as a small masterpiece of late 70s roots reggae. Buy this one!" ReggaeCD.com

"Broggs is an evangelist for Reggae and Rasta...Peter Broggs' voice comes through on "I Don't Know" and "Never Forget Jah". Heavy beats carry "Cool Down" and "Forward Natty" as Broggs calls for an end to hatred and brutality, reminding us of the Jamaica of the 1960's and 70's. "Having a Party" foreshadows the best of Reggae dance music." RootsWorld Magazine
