Editorial reviews 3 Stars - Good - ...BROTHER SISTER, the band's second album, is not unlike its American debut three years ago: chock-full of '70s funk and soul references, with a bit of fusion jazz and '90s reverence for all that is old thrown in....What [N'Dea Davenport] brings...is an ease of execution and a keen sense of style. She is as fluid as the band is tight, as blase as the players are intent.... Rolling Stone (04/07/1994) ...BROTHER SISTER is a chunky, funky blast...N'Dea Davenport['s]...singing is far more compelling than before--alternately smooth and sassy...BROTHER SISTER is like a great party: lively, varied and good-humored... Musician (04/01/1994) 7 - Very Good - ...BROTHER SISTER is a fine album, as far as it goes. The upbeat vibe they're noted for floods out from the opening tune...
