    It's not exactly an exciting record, but it is comforting: a modest sound for chastened times.

    Hamilton attempts to resuscitate it with his warm voice, but the record plods on with one mid-tempo nodder after another.
  3. Blender
    50
    After contributing smart songs and sly vocals to Al Green’s 2008 Lay It Down, Anthony Hamilton seemed poised for a breakthrough. This isn’t it.

    I think that Mr. Hamilton's versatility is extraordinary! The "Point of It All" is that his growth as an artist should be recognized.
