"Infectious and clubby beats from the bedroom to the dancefloor. Props for using vocal effects eloquently - it’s an art! A heady and respectable body of work to stand the test of time. With brilliant production work, openly homoerotic work and classic grooves with modern production techniques." - DJ Pusspuss
"Infectious grooves, thick harmonies and melodic hooks...For the first single, the horn driven, earth wind and fire-esque retro house jam "Where The Music Takes You," Gold collaborated with Grammy Award Winning Producer Joe Hogue (of >HiTPLAY)" - Amazon.com
"R&B-electro-dance sounds that are a pleasant surprise...pleasant dance-pop...deserves credit for tackling lyrical subjects not usually linked with dance pop." - Greg Prato
"Where The Music Takes You" (has) those melodies and harmonies that are so smooth and enjoyable..."Ride To Heaven"… if you listen carefully to the lyrics, have some great sexual innuendos...The album is soulful, smart and a pleasure to listen to."
