"Rick Estrin is a time traveler. Surfing sound waves from the past, the Nightcats' vocalist/harpist pays homage to blues masters like James Cotton, Junior Wells, and Little Walter, incorporating their musical personalities into his own eclectic sound ... The Nightcats' latest upholds the band's belief that with the right attitude and a stellar cast, you can have one foot in the past and still be contemporary".

"Estrin still showcases a saucy, put-upon attitude that defines its own brand of hip. His affected singing, which reveals skewed thoughts on gender clashes, mortality and the passage of time, lope through original blues and vintage rock-style tunes that also harbor his superb harmonica work ... The instrumental "Cupcakin'," in particular, lends credence to claims that the current litter of 'Cats, including guitarist Kid Andersen, reigns as the best band anywhere".
