“Opening with the smoother-than-smooth Fly, then stepping up the tempo on Changes, Smith rolls with the beat the way a boxer works with the rhythm of an opponent, his voice riding the clean production of Chin Injeti.” - Marke Andrews, The Sun (Vancouver) “Smith proved himself a versatile soul crooner, hitting the occasional Prince-esque high note… Smith shone throughout the pop-tinged set churning out memorable hooks by the handful.” - Exclaim Magazine (New Music West Showcase) “The smooth urban pop the singer lays down is bound to generate a buzz. If you like jacksoul/Jarvis Church catch him now and you can say you saw him way back when.” - Stuart Derdeyn, The Province (Vancouver) “The world really has something to look forward to with Shawn’s debut.” - Multi-platinum producer, Manuel Seal Jr. (Usher, Mariah Carey) “Take U Home is a sexy, soulful number that will have crowds jumping, grinding, and sweating in the clubs.” - Canadian Music Network (Hit Pick, November ‘03)
