"DALLAS EXAMINER Gets Ear Hustled!!!"

"Geno Young's "Ear Hustler" has the potential to earn any award given in the music industry. It places Geno Young, and band, in their rightful place as icons in the music industry. With its old soul style and up-to-date mix, "Ear Hustler" lives up to what Neo-Soul enthusiast appreciate the most. "

"Soul Cuts"

While the album’s got great artwork, I don’t know why Mr Young’s looking so glum. On this evidence, the box is booming and we have ourselves a real contender. A buy-blind album for any self-respecting soul head."
