Simple, but never simplistic, rough, but never carelessly so, Roberts' music breathes the soulfulness of US-American house music, while staying true to the avant-garde spirit of Dial.

The Album Glass Eights
was reviewed:
The first signing to Dial outside their close circle, John Roberts' debut album fits right in with the top-notch output they've had this year. Deftly creating luscious hues with crackly samples, melodies and old school house elements in a distinctly soulful way, it's a strong contender for house album of the year.
