David Liens, CMJ (College Music Journal) New Music Report

"The Reggae Cowboys are one of the most unusual groups to come forward in recent memory. Playing urban, modern conscious reggae while decked out in wild west garb, they combine the pulse of reggae with the soulful influences of Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, along with an unusually philosophical approach. Even more intriguingly, the Reggae Cowboys not only use the Wild West motif as an image, they are earnestly committed to promoting awareness of the role of African American cowboys in this country's history, as heard on 'Tell The Truth' and 'Searchin' for De Outlaw' and their covers of 'Hang 'Em High', 'Outlaw Man' and 'Hotel California' which sounds like an instant hit."
