"So Jones is a successful guy, but people who love pure blues may feel a bit left out on Jones' new album Belmont Boulevard. The record is more contemporary in feel; opening cut "Love Times Ten" has a country vibe going for it, and "Coming After Me", in a way, nudges into Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan territory. Still, Jones does pay respect and homage to his blues masters, as a song on the album, "What Would Jimmie Do?", is actually about Vaughan ... Basically, if you like the commercial and contemporary side of the blues, you will love Belmont Boulevard. If you're a die-hard purist, you may snivel your nose at some of this stuff".

"Debonair Canadian guitar slinger J.W. Jones makes his Blind Pig debut with this Tom Hambridge-produced album - an offering filled with steely Texas hustle, slickly executed boogies and light-tipped soul. Jones' material is ultimately catchy in a pop-oriented vein, yet maintains contemporary Nashvillian warmth that begs roots coolness and bluesy abandon - it's a truly accessible sound".
