" ... Matt Andersen's voice is trademarked by a bluesy soulfulness that anchors the genre-mixed music on the latest in a long string of albums he's made since the mid-aughts. Not given to histrionics, his singing has a breadth and constancy. Andersen's credibility as a blues guitarist is in good standing, too. Still another strong suite is composing ... Three members of the gospel-trained singing Smith family are positioned in arrangements for maximum effect. They and the rest of Andersen's working band (...) sound modern and classic (evocative of the "Tulsa sound," etc.) at the same time".
