“True to it’s title, Dancing Dimensions leans more towards psychedelic soul that it’s predecessors. Highlights are numerous, but the joyfully spacey title track and dynamic R&B showstopper Hung Up On My Dream are the standouts. Performed with verve and decades-honed vocal talent, it’s a triumph.” MOJO – 4 stars ****
“Veteran soul man enjoys continued renaissance... His third LP since emerging from retirement a decade ago sounds like a compilation of 70s’ soul highlights: the title track could be Shuggie Otis, ‘Heaven’ resembles the soulful funk-folk of Bill Withers, ‘First Dimension’ is like a Roy Ayres jam session. Best of all is the sprightly, Jackson 5-inspired ‘Gimme Some Ice Cream.’ Throughout, the octogenarian Thomas’ voice is in astonishingly limber condition.” Uncut – 8/10
“The first Pain release to consist of entirely new songs, it’s spacey, psychedelic and utterly fantastic, making perfect use of the singer’s remarkably preserved old-school soul voice.” The Guardian
