Uncut (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "SAM BAKER'S ALBUM welds sense-battering electronica to retro-smooth lounge-funk..." The Wire (p.60) - "Baker's style is physical, thick, dense: woozy bass, murky keys and drums that kick hard enough to stir up dust..." Pitchfork (Website) - "SAM BAKER'S ALBUM sounds quite formalist in execution, right down to the last delayed beat-drop."
