All Music Guide Review

For artists who yearn to embrace '70s-style soul and funk but don't want to sound "dated," a common approach is combining a '70s-inspired sound with a more high-tech production style that employs elements of hip-hop. Mr. Fiddler does exactly that on the underrated With Respect -- expressing an allegiance to Parliament/Funkadelic in no uncertain terms without going for an overtly '70s type of production. Though the album would have been stronger with more horns, fewer keyboards and actual drumming instead of drum machines, there's no denying just how infectiously sweaty such down and dirty P-Funk grooves as "Cat in the Hat," "Cutie on Duty" and the insanely funny "Henpecked" are. The band successfully slows down the tempo for the smooth, Marvin Gaye-influenced "Starvin' like Marvin." Sadly, With Respect received little attention, and was ignored by black radio. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
