"De titelsong Waitin' For Me dateert reeds uit 2001 en is een mooie rustige ballade in de stijl van Springsteens Philadelphia, die zeker als soundtrack bij een film zou kunnen gebruikt worden."

"Jones uses 'Lungs' by Townes Van Zandt to push this album off from shore into his great gulf of Americana tracks."

“Album of the week - 2003/03/16: Mr Jones – ‘Waitin' For Me’, dollar bill records”
(Joe Vincent, Sounds from the New West, JRRI Radio, Waterford, Ireland)

“Ein herzerwärmendes Album mit Songs über Liebe und Vergänglichkeit, Geschichten über die Vergeblichkeit des eigenen Tuns und die Suche nach Harmonie"
(Jörg Eiben, Folker! Magazin, Germany)

“We have seen so many times when an artist delivers an astonishing first album only to go downhill from the second on. Fortunately, this time, the artist known as Mr Jones is giving the wonderful gift of a magnificent second album, far more better than the first one! The man's German but he sings without any accent and on top of that, delivers music that sounds like it has been written deep in the heart of Texas, music that sounds like part of a soundtrack to a road movie, tunes that evoque deserts, dusty roads, loneliness and mountains and a voice that sounds experienced, true and honest. The CD offers another set of songs showing what a good songwriter Mr Jones is, but he is also a good listener and chooser for he gets a Townes Van Zandt original to complete his set.”
(Raul J. Tejeiro, Cabildo-Mas 106.7 FM, Top Country Hits, Uruguay)

"'Back Home Again' is among the best Texas roots music that I have heard in a long time. Of course one of the favorite songs is sure to be 'Texas River Song', especially since us folks in Aggieland reside in Brazos County, right along the Brazos River. And should Mr Jones get 'home' one of these days, let us know."
(John Roths, Random Routes, Radio KEOS 89.1 FM, Bryan/College Station, TX, USA)

“’Waitin’ For Me’ ist sein bisher reifstes Album, musikalisch und textlich.”
(Hansjörg Malonek, Folk und Country Corner, Radio ISW, Burgkirchen, Germany)

“‘Back Home Again’ was actually a very fine work but ‘Waitin' For Me’ is even better than its predecessor. You still can smell the scent of the urban folk movement of the sixties, as I previously wrote, but this new CD has surely a more Texan flavour and I suppose we have to thank to the immaculate production of that great man, Mr. Eric Taylor, for this. There is in fact the same intense and strong climate, sometimes even dark, that you can often find in the work of that giant of the Texan music scene. However Eric has not changed the music of Mr Jones but only make him a more mature and complete artist.”
(Massimo Ferro, Radio Italia, American Folk, Italy)

"Mr Jones makes music which is more suitable for the intelligence of the audience than for having a dance. Great!”
(Radio Teutoburger Wald, Germany)

"Mr Jones klingt mit seinen 'road stories' authentisch - so, als ob er seit seiner Geburt in Texas zu Hause wäre."
(Matti Goldschmidt, Folker! Magazin, Germany)

“OK, I agree there is no bad song on it [’Waitin’ For Me’]. And it is great to hear Eric Taylor.”
(Jane Weber, Slovene National Radio)

"It's a very good acoustic album that shows Mr Jones’ good hand at songwriting and a singing style that is totally his own although at some moments I am reminded of Cat Stevens. Musically, his combination of guitars and harmonica is terrific and also reminiscent of Neil Young at his best."
(Raul J. Tejeiro, Cabildo-Mas 106.7 FM, Top Country Hits, Uruguay)

"Mr Jones erzählt hervorragende Road Stories."
(Hansjörg Malonek, Folk und Country Corner, Radio ISW, Burgkirchen, Germany)

"I have played all the tracks off the CD [‘Back Home Again’] as featured artist over a period of two weeks, but the one that is asked for on all the shows is 'Song For Oll'. It is very catchy. As we are an all country music station 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it gets requested on shows other than mine. I have used the track 'I Have To Go' to finish off my show a few times as do other DJs on Radio Galtee. Many thanks for your help in bringing good music to Ireland."
(Pat Fitzmaurice , Radio Galtee 102.4, Limerick, Ireland)

“As on his previous CD, we can hear [on ’Waitin’ For Me’] that he has his own musical personality.”
(Michel Penard, Radio ISA, France)

„Ein sehr feines Teil [’Waitin’ For Me’]!.Ist mir ein großes Vergnügen, derartig gute Musik vorstellen zu können.“
(Gerd Stassen, Hillbilly Rockhouse - "Roots" Radio, Ems-Vechte-Welle, Germany)

“I lived in Bryan, Texas 18 years and did radio there for 5 years. It is amazing how Mr Jones sounds like he lives there!”
(Judith Gennett, Radio KPSU, Portland, OR, USA)

"I really appreciate 'Back Home Again' which is a very fine work and contains several excellent songs. Mr Jones’ songwriting not only is in the great tradition of the Texas music scene but - and this is a compliment - sometimes reminds me of those glorious days of the Greenwich Village!"
(Massimo Ferro, Radio Italia, American Folk, Italy)

"Mr Jones könnte als authentischer amerikanischer Singer/Songwriter mit Country-Einschlag durchgehen. ‘Back Home Again’ ist eine professionell produzierte CD, in bester US-Manier dargeboten."
(Akustik Gitarre Magazin, Germany)

"The German singer-guitarist who rejoices in the enigmatic name of Mr Jones delivered a satisfactory set of Americana mellow music with a message; sweet voiced with a nifty finger-picking guitar style.“
(Edinburgh Evening News, Edinburgh, Scotland)

"I still present tracks from it [‘Back Home Again’] on air and it got an airing at a large country music record store for in store play."
(Big Al Watts, Big Al's Rhythm Roundup, PBS FM, Hampton, Australia)

"Ein Vertreter einer fast schon vergessenen Kunst."
(Neumarkter Tagblatt, Neumarkt i.d.Opf., Germany)

"After listening to Mr Jones’ music, I must confess that it impresses me a lot! No weak moments at all! Every song is strong enough to be played in my show!"
(Ray Pieters, Somewhere Between, Radio Milo 103.1 FM, Belgium)

"Great songs, Jones man, thank you"
(Eric Taylor, Songwriter, Weimar, TX, USA)

(Passauer Neue Presse, Germany)
