"['Only One'] is one of those songs that make you remember why you originally fell in love with R&B. Turn up the volume, get your soul fix & go two-step to this soul jam. Stevie on the harmonica is crisp as always." - VIBE

"The proof is in the music." - Ebony

"PJ has the musical chops and the swag." - MTV Buzzworthy

"PJ Morton is the ultimate 21st century soul man. He's got R&B groove down to a science, while adding a little hip-hop grit and even some rock shine. New Orleans is the perfect place to meet one of the brightest and most brilliant artists of 2013." - Artist Direct
