"The Tones are some real soulful brothers" - COMMON
"One can confidently predict that the Tones will find their fan base with ease, as "Dreamtalk" is an assured and promising first outing." - Rapreviews.com
"Bay Area hip-hop duo tones have shared the stage with everyone from Slum Village to Dr. Cornell West — a bit of trivia that provides quick insight into their sound. Combining hazy, jazzy production with limber, thought-provoking lyrics, the group is a welcome throwback to groups like Black Star and early Common, and era when hip-hop was about soul instead of flash. Dreamtalk is inspired and inspiring, relaxed, refreshing hip-hop guaranteed to satisfy." - Emusic.com (Amelia Raitt)
"Dreamtalk is a complete album containing fifteen tracks of soul numbing, thought provoking music. Its actually a bit of a challenge to manifest a negative comment to say about it." - hiphopups.com
