"Move Upstairs is an excellent complement to its predecessor. The Como Mamas are among the most rhythmically innovative and effortlessly creative singers in Southern rural gospel. The presence of the Glorifiers adds an exclamation point as gospel music's past and present are seamlessly united. This is nothing less than essential for fans of American roots music".
