DownBeat2013 MayafafFrank-John Hadley2013 May"Otis Taylor's 13th studio album reaffirms his status as a big name in blues and roots music. With a new set of original songs, this Boulder, Colo.-based purveyor of "trance blues" proves he's still one of the rare few displaying both sturdiness of purpose and total command of his music".
Jazz specialNr. 132 (2013)afafNiels ChristensenNr. 132 (2013)"Som altid en inderlig og foruroligende udgivelse fra særegne Otis Taylor (..) i en down-to-earth bluesy stil ... Musik, som bestemt ikke er skabt til fest eller glæde, men som er utrolig fascinerende. Man kan nærmest lugte, smage og mærke Colorados golde ørkensand og føle smerten på egen krop".
