    A bloody good album, showcasing a decidedly more soulful side to his output than we might have seen before.

    A house album that strips out the weaknesses while putting boosters under the strengths. [Aug 2015, p.113]

    Knockin' Boots shuttles between classic disco, '80s electro soul, Gallic House tropes and stripped-down future funk with significant aplomb. [Aug 2015, p.88]

    While Walker doesn't push his sound forward that much, little of what's here is forgettable, and it's all constructed with a good time in mind.

    The plethora of guest vocalists (J'Danna, BIXBY, Okmalumkoolkat, Heavy D. & the Boyz) means things stay relatively fresh, but more often than not, it's not enough.

    Very tasteful piece of disco, house and soul. Maybe a bit commercial in areas but I don't think it matters a great deal here. It's moreVery tasteful piece of disco, house and soul. Maybe a bit commercial in areas but I don't think it matters a great deal here. It's more influence than construction of something that will work to the masses. Expand
