    A worthy addition to any neo-soul set. [4 Apr 2003, p.100]
  2. For the most part though, One Step Forward is more self assured and richly textured, nicely refining a winning formula that will no doubt enchant the many fans of its predecessor.
  3. Mojo

    The result is laidback and chilled. [Apr 2003, p.104]
  4. Mojo

    A compelling blend of 21st Century world music. [May 2003, p.106]
  5. What seems less successful are the English language efforts.
  6. Rolling Stone

    They did it again! Now, I am sure the first albim was slept on. This album is so good, it now becomes a problem if you do not get the lyrics. They did it again! Now, I am sure the first albim was slept on. This album is so good, it now becomes a problem if you do not get the lyrics. the music is super tight, cause the band is. this album is so much better than the first. And that is quite an acomplishment. Merci Celia et Helene. Expand
