    Genuinely soulful and unhindered by a slavish devotion to traditional Americana, The Opera Circuit is a tour de force for Hinson.

    His second album stands out from the singer-songwriter crowd. [15 Dec 2006, p.85]

    At times enjoyable, at other times somewhat bland, And The Opera Circuit is a somewhat inconsistent follow-up release from the young artist.

    Hinson is blessed with a rich, warm voice that lifts him above most of his faux-redneck competitors, and he can arrange a song gloriously.

    Makes for exhausting listening. [Sep 2006, p.108]
