Criticism
- Mojo (Publisher) (10/99, p. 112) - "... more conventional South-western blues ... but the principals are deftly mixed-and-matched, and anything that pushes the diffident Phillip Walker into a spotlight is to be welcomed. ”(more conventional blues from the southwest ... but the bosses are confidently and skillfully mixed and anything that brings the reserved Phillip Walker into the spotlight is welcome.)
- Dirty Linen (2-3 / 00, p. 72) - "... [The trio] put their egos aside, and what results is a fine Gulf Coast / Texas blues set ... the trio's techniques are indisputable ... “(The trio leaves their egos aside and what comes out of it is a collection of fine Gulf Coast / Texas blues ... the technical skills of the trio are undisputed ...)
- CD Universe Review - Score some plus points for Kaz Kazanoff's sax and harp playing, and the horn charts are mighty fine throughout. (Write down positive points for Kaz Kazanoff's saxophone and harmonica playing, the winds are generally very good on the entire album.)
