    This is a messy album, sometimes thrillingly so, a mélange of psychedelic rock, punk energy and R&B desperation.

    Hunt manages to turn in his most intense and provocative album yet, a stunning mix of prog, punk and soul that can challenge even the most jaded listener. [#81, p. 57]
  3. The A.V. Club

    Twice as raw and thrice as hungry as anything the neo-soul mastermind has previously released, Hoping-from the title on down-is a full-throated, full-throttle challenge.
