    The albums tonal pallet may be rich but the songs themselves lack any direction. It is very easy to allow this album to fade into the background, there's nothing that's really exciting about it. While the singing and the songwriting might be there, the record lacks any real passion or structure to it.

    Really loved Woman and have been waiting for this album for a while now. Have to say I miss Robin Hannibals touch he added a little more funk and horns still gotta love his voice and his mix of strings is superb.

    It also formalizes some of the sensual spontaneity of Woman, as he puts forth a lavish, spotless output that also suffers from some seriously tasteless lyrical choices. On Blood, Rhye's fixation with style does get the best of him.

    The best moments come when the duo break out of their languid comfort zone, as on the breezy Feel Your Weight and dynamic Phoenix. [Mar 2018, p.90]

    His gentle pleadings and luring lines evoke lightheadedness, and at times lack enunciation, like he was just wheeled out of oral surgery and had his water laced with an aphrodisiac.
