Press Reviews "Addiction has a definite mainstream appeal (not in the rap or pop sense of the word, just in its structure) and even though the song rarely changes or progresses, it shows promise for such a short glimpse into the music of ANT."- Fabrik Nos, http://www.flash.net/~ceagle/ereview, June 1999"…there's a cool factor happening here, especially with ant's jam. looking forward to hearing more as this artist progresses and gains experience…ANT has himself a nice voice and the deep singing style suits the relaxed nature of the track [Addiction]."- Alex, RAW42, http://www.ward42.com/raw/reviews/ant.html, November 2, 1999
