    A BITTER disappointment, after the genius that was multiply. Asides from a couple of tracks all the energy and innovation is gone, it feels lackluster from the get go, multiply made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and a big grin spread across my face, Jim turns my smile to a frown and makes me want to sit down, not get up and dance around. Very bland production, and seemingly A BITTER disappointment, after the genius that was multiply.

    Jim is pleasant, polite, listenable, smooth (it’s like Yacht Rock for the nu-soul set), undemanding…and a bit of a bore.

    This is an album by an artist getting comfortable with his softer side. It's another welcome surprise.

    His near facsimile approach to fond memory demands a revitalising new element and he hasn't got it. [May 2008, p.112]
