'Four years ago, Donnie’s The Colored Section was the most provocative soul-fueled social commentary since the days when Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway routinely offered biting analyses of current events. These days, the real daily news continues to give him plenty to talk about, which he does with wit and insight. It’s nice to be reminded that there is more to R&B than preening and pickup lines.'
'No news topic is too taboo on The Daily News, the remarkable follow-up to Donnie’s debut, The Colored Section (2002). A dry-eyed realism shapes this material. Though Donnie’s observations are as sharp and disturbing as the barbed wire pictured in the accompanying booklet, he makes listening to the not-so-good news palatable.'
