“Pacem 2 is Brown’s masterpiece. The song structures are so unique and compelling and Brown’s piano playing is so sophisticated and lyrical. There are few albums that are as genre-defying in style... At a time we are pulled in so many other directions, this album is a rare guided meditation. If you believe that music is a catalyst for healing, then you will love Pacem 2.”
— Ira Israel, Good Men Project

"...Some of the finest songs of his extensive discography. (Pacem 1 & 2) sound like the story of Brown’s life, about his personal philosophy (pacem is Latin for peace), about the intersection of his professional and social spheres, about his varied musical and political interests — and about where he’s at right now."
— Michael Barclay, That Night In Toronto
