"Never as commercially successful as Bob Marley, nor as militant as Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer will probably forever remain the most underappreciated of the original Wailers. Yet, since leaving the group in 1974, the singer has quietly constructed an impressive catalog as a solo artist. Retrospective covers the years 1979-1992, drawing heavily from excellent albums like Roots, Radics, Rockers, Reggae (1979), Liberation (1989), and Time Will Tell: A Tribute to Bob Marley (1991), while also selecting highlights from the remaining titles. The Grammy-winning Time Will Tell was his greatest commercial victory. Throughout this collection, Bunny is backed by musicians from both the roots and dancehall eras, creating a fundamentally '70s sound updated with a mid-'80s sheen. It wasn't until the early '90s, however, that he embraced the new music fully, the influence finding its way onto both Gumption and Dancehall Massive." (Allmusic)
"After leaving the Wailers behind, Bunny Wailer (born Neville Livingston) wasted no time establishing himself as a highly original and visionary singer and songwriter on his own. His solo debut remains one of the most extraordinary albums of the roots period, a complex but instantly attractive and occasionally heartbreaking record that never rises above a whisper in tone but packs as much political and spiritual wallop as the best of Bob Marley's work. Critics have been praising this album for more than 25 years, and they generally (and quite rightly) focus on the quality of such songs as the quietly ferocious "Fighting Against Conviction" (aka "Battering Down Sentence"), the classic repatriation anthem "Dreamland," and the apocalyptic "Amagideon". An astounding achievement by an artist who was, at the time, only at the beginning of what would be a distinguished career." (Rick Anderson, Allmusic)
