"Waiting For The Train is a beautifully conceived album. It's thoroughly modern and delivered with taste and style. It's smooth, tight and in the pocket throughout, giving Johnny and his beautiful pipes plenty of space to deliver his message ... it's definitely up your alley if you love modern soul with an old-school feel"

"Rawls is an eloquent songwriter of enormous distinction and, again, with this release, his writing underscores much of the album with its inherent lyrical strength and melodic power ... There's absolutely nothing to criticise here, an album that's pretty near-impossible not to like"
