"This is real, deeply emotional music played by master technicians at their best. If you are a Blues fan of any sort, listen to this record and find out what a true and clean expression of the music can be".

"Alli's first full-length shows his main strength to be an ability to captivate with a harmonica sound that nods to his idols - Big Walter Horton, Little Walter and George "Harmonica" Smith - without impeding the development of his own style".

"An impressively authentic program of Chicago-style blues that evokes the harmonica legends who defined the genre during the 1950s. Alli (...) injects echoes of Little Walter Jacobs, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells, George "Harmonica" Smith, James Cotton, and Sonny Boy Williamson II into the 12-track program and, at the same time, asserts an individual identity much the way players like Paul Butterfield and Charlie Musselwhite did in the 1960s ... Working together like gears in a well-oiled machine, these musicians eschew flashy blues rock guitar histrionics and keep their eyes on supporting the leader's vocals and harp solos with seductive riffs, and step up to contribute taut solos that serve the performance of the songs. That vintage Chicago ambiance is also reinforced with the retro feel of the recording; it definitely features a live-in-the-studio sound".
