"Not only has Siegel achieved his aim of combining a message for peace with his spirituality but in the process he has come up with a gorgeous album that is more than compelling and that bristles with naked truth and beauty. A deeply haunting beauty that is most memorable." -Rich Sharm, Rainlore's World of Music (British Music Site)

"A great piano tickler" "Strong emotive voice" "Inspiring message of unity and peace" -Jonathon Blakely, "deLiberation", (British political commentary)

"Warm and inviting vocal approach" "12 songs that are designed to make the world a better place." -Chuck Dauphin, "Nashville Music News"
