Richmond Times Dispatch writes, 'Elliott Grooves!' Folks loved the show! 'Throughout the hour-long set - also his first full, solo concert - Yamin's voice sounded strong and healthy. He broke into the Elliott... saunter move during an electrifying keyboard solo on "Believe" and effortlessly navigated the layers of percussion and saxophone for Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On"... Yamin, 28, also has that natural gift. He knows his way around a soulful ballad, and he feels what he sings - it's obvious in his body language and the dreamy look that coats his face during a song. He also loves music to the extent that he can flip from Carole King's "You've Got A Friend," recast with a subtle jazz vibe, to the Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post," the frenetic set-closer that showcased his comfort with rock. Yamin's confidence has certainly developed, but he still keeps the focus on his technically flawless voice. He projects a laid-back charisma and appeared grateful for the support of his fans, whom he thanked often.'
