"Putting politics and the problems of Africa aside, this is a brilliantly put together album of quality musicianship and songs each with their own identity and style all from a man who has not forgotten his life and musical roots. As they would say in Zambia (Bemba), "Zikomo" Toby."
– Rory Stanbridge, FATEA Magazine UK
"Tobias' palpable love of Africa informs the whole CD in a way that is powerful and moving. Though the album shows the traces of his musical background and influences - which is as it should be - it also sounds very fresh. That's a pretty rare achievement in music today."
– Rupert Wates, Singer-Songwriter
