Commercial reception

Kevin Le Grande of BBC Music noted that "Gregory Porter has a voice and musicality to be reckoned with" and that Mr. Porter could help fill the gap of new male African-American jazz singers.[4] Howard Dukes of Soul Tracks claims Gregory Porter as a new talent, "an artist who has a number of classic, familiar elements in his style, but whose approach brings a freshness that both jazz and soul fans should love" and continues with praise: "I think Nat King Cole would be pleased."[5]
