"Anthony Hamilton has proven himself to be one of the logical heirs to Marvin Gaye. His rich vocal prowess, steeped both in sexy R&B and the traditions of the church, is a rarity during a time when soul has been hijacked by computers.....BOSTON.COM
"In the songs he writes with his producers, Mr. Hamilton sings in long lines and storytelling crescendos rather than hip-hop sound bites. He uses all the grain, ache and fervor in his voice to admit sins and beg for forgiveness in songs like “Please Stay” and “Fine Again.” In “Soul’s on Fire,” a confession of pure despair, he moans, “Gonna take trials to be delivered".....NEW YORK TIMES
"Few pop singers are as steeped in the pressing rhythms, melismatic vocal styles and fevered call-and-response of black gospel music as Anthony Hamilton. Take "Praying for You (Superman)," the eight-minute tour de force that anchors the back half of "The Point of It All," the North Carolina native's latest album".....WASHINGTON POST
