Spin (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Butler's debut album journeys through club music's bent past with both universal and timeless results that are as sensual and surreal as a Jean Cocteau film set to a Giorgio Moroder soundtrack." CMJ - "Those who think that disco and acid house have been relegated to the annals of kitsch will be shocked by the vital sound of Hercules And Love Affair." Vibe (p.66) - "[T]his debut blends the macho with the emotional....The disaffected dance crowd's been hurting for this kind of positivity." Blender (Magazine) (p.73) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] nod to the origins of disco....DJ Andy Butler's beats, which occasionally fast-forward to the strobes and thuds of '90s house, are marvelously arranged." Clash (Magazine) (p.64) - Ranked #28 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "Andy Butler has woven a seductive edifice of old disco references adding his own deft flair and modern slant." URB (p.84) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Butler has crafted a stellar full length that fuses the highlights of disco and its many derivative genres....A full-blown album in all its artistic glories and proclivities."
