"The album is a love letter to the Windy City where he was born and raised on the west side. City Soul is a nice mix of soul, R&B, blues and blues rock ... He sings in a nice soulful baritone reminiscent of the incomparable Bill Withers. It does not approach the high bar set by the legend but a good reference point would be "Grandma's Hands". Lou Rawls comes to mind as well. Not bad company in the least with ample room to grow".

"On a debut album of depth and maturity, ex-soldier Russ Green parlays the stylistic flourishes of his harmonica (Sugar Blue's an obvious influence) into an ensemble sound more about dynamism than stagnant conventionalism. Those licks and longer phrases are, indeed, smartly turned and packed with conviction. Chicagoan Green's well-above-average singing succeeds in its balance between his allegiance to tradition and his aim to reinvigorate the music in a discernible way".
