"Besides being way “Cool,” the lead single from Anthony Hamilton’s forthcoming “The Point of It All” (Dec. 16) serves as further evidence that the gritty, North Carolina-bred crooner may be incapable of making a bad song. Rather than rely on overproduction to steamroll listeners, Hamilton lets his vocals work magic on top of a twangy guitar riff. It’s more of that country-tinged, down-home soul we’ve come to love from a young, old-school cat who always keeps it real".....BOSTON HERALD
"Hamilton often sings touchingly of romantic love on the new album. But unlike the R&B veterans he evokes (namely Womack and Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band), the artist isn't packaged as a virile sex symbol. His sound certainly suggests a rugged and sweaty masculinity uncommon in today's mainstream R&B"....BALTIMORE SUN
"Even with the doors opening up late, a DJ that didn't do what was expected, and a sold out standing room only section, everyone had a great time. Anthony Hamilton put on a show like none other. A true entertainer and a unique sound is what the music industry needs right now, and Anthony Hamilton has both of those qualities".....URBAN NEWZ
"Hamilton, a little firecracker of a performer with the swagger of a charismatic Southern preacher, got down to the nitty-gritty, especially gritty in his case, on the reliable soul burners he’s known for such as "Coming From Where I’m From," "Sista Big Bones," "Charlene" and "Can’t Let Go."".....ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
