Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "For the concept, execution and a clearer definition of the protagonists, it can't be faulted.", "It's always ready to open into a subsonic abyss of dub bass, and Scott-Heron's words become more impressionistic....The album reaps great dividends.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "If I'M NEW HERE was a triumph for Russell and Scott-Heron, WE'RE NEW HERE reveals a maverick production talent in Jamie Smith...", "Scott-Heron's raspy vocals anchor Smith's spectral diddlings; the results are pleasantly moody." -- Grade: B+, "Strength meets strength on his unusual album-length remix, as Smith's skittering beats and ghostly soul divas put Scott-Heron right where he belongs: in the future.", Ranked #32 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "An unlikely and vibrant epitaph for the ever-unpredictable Heron, who died soon after its release.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The most extraordinary combination is 'I'll TAke Care Of U,' on which Scott-Heron makes ragged-throated promises while a guitar traces sad, spindly lines over rave-era piano."
Additional InformationGil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx collaborate on the remix of 2010's I'm New Here with ear-opening results.
