Industry Reviews The second solo joint from Deee-Lite's former DJ showcases the same bounce and song sense that made the group's `Groove Is In The Heart' irresistible. Jazzy hip-hop, fizzy house, even Indonesian gamelan inform the mix... - Rating: A-
...Towa dabbles with a range of styles--from old school hip-hop and bossa-nova to contemporary R&B and house....he holds it together with subtle, funky grooves and lush production... Musician (05/01/1998)
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...[mixes] international sounds into his light, delicate style of headphone techno....SOUND MUSEUM offers a slick flow of samba, robotic disco, jazz fusion and a dash of hip-hop... Rolling Stone (03/05/1998)
