    Originality seems less important to Mr. Franti than moral directness. [24 Jul 2006]

    What should have been a worldly record of peace ends up limping with musical dissatisfaction that outweighs its virtue. [29 Jul 2006, p.31]

    This album is refreshingly uplifting, in spite of its heavy content and message. It is a beautiful soundtrack for all joyful warriors of peace.
