Reception

The Chicago Tribune review by Mo Ryan states "This instrumental Chicago quartet plays a funky, low-down, utterly addictive combination of rock, blues and jazz, one that seduces the listener with captivating grooves and rock-solid rhythms."
In an article for the Chicago Reader, John Corbett notes that "While their earlier tunes tended to emphasize a sound very reminiscent of the New Orleans funk essentialists The Meters, their latest batch of original numbers is less singular in its references."
