Critical Response
"The Greatest Living Soul Singer is 62 years old now, and age has thickened his voice, but miraculously hasn't damaged it much; he's still got immaculate power and control, all the way up to that extraordinary falsetto."—Douglas Wolk, Pitchfork MediaPitchfork: Lay It Down Review (May 29, 2008)
"Lay It Down sticks to the classic Seventies template: slow-boiling ballads, awash in strings and brass, with Green cooing oaths of fidelity and hinting at more immediate satisfactions."—Jody Rosen, Rolling Stone MagazineRolling Stone: Lay It Down Review (May 29, 2008)
"This latest addition to the soul legend's gem-filled catalog casts illuminating light on his enduring brilliance, as well as the enormous benefits of intergenerational exchange."—Claudrena N. Harold, PopMattersPopMatters: Lay It Down Review (May, 27, 2008)
