"At its core, The Juice derives from a series of Nashville sessions held with Keb' Mo', who is credited as a co-producer and appears on a fair chunk of the album. The bluesman helps focus G. Love, tightening up individual songs which in turn helps the entire album gel ... It all adds up to an album that is cheerful and, thanks to the steady hand of Keb' Mo', deceptively sharp. Anything that seems ragged or a loose end is there for flavor, giving this record a relaxed, cheerful groove so offhand, it could only be conjured by old hands".

"What's enjoyable about The Juice is that it shows Love still has the youthful joyfulness of his debut but also tempered with maturity. It's the same laid-back voice with the Philadelphia accent that can almost read Brooklyn or Boston, and it's the same kinds of blues riffs, but there's a subtle refinement that makes it feel like growth and not stagnation. Some of this is due to his talented guests, but it's mostly a credit to Love's engagement as an artist".
