"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".

"After a bring-the-house-down show at Harlem's Apollo as part of the Daptone Super Soul Revue, THE COMO MAMAS - Ester Mae Smith, plus sisters Della Daniels and Angela Taylor - headed to Daptone's House Of Soul in Brooklyn to record Move Upstairs (Daptone), their second album for the label ... They are, along with their Daptone label mates, Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens, today's premier purveyors of raw sanctified soul".
