“There is a rhythmic pulse that harkens back to the formative days of MTV, a vocal sound that colors the band’s music instead of yanking it along by the collar and an unflashy stage demeanor that avoids lengthy solos in order to go for the groove.”

— Lexington Herald-Leader, 1994

“[The band] offers…energetic live performances with a clear, well-produced sound on their recordings…The CD as a whole is full of lush textures and melodic dreamscapes.”

— ACE Weekly, 1996

“This group must overcome a serious obstacle to big-time success: originality. They have way too much of it…The musicianship is a treat, focused primarily around Rainwater’s guitar which radiates large, warm, well-placed jazz and pop voicings against the steady and sturdy Bud Ratliff (on bass)/Nathan Fitch (percussion) rhythm section. The balance of John Fitch’s yearning lead vocals with empathetic backup vocals complete the picture…The songs themselves are strong melodically, structurally original (good-bye I-V-IV), lyrically involving, and compellingly arranged, evoking hope, regret, wistfulness and determination…This is a band with a strong vision of who they are, and the talent to express it.”

— Louisville Music News, 1996

“Soul references…have always been prevalent in the band’s music. Soul, in this case, doesn’t mean brassy, full-blown funk, but breezy, crisply defined guitar rhythms and strong vocal work that echoes with optimism.”

— Lexington Herald-Leader, 1996

“It’s a very lush and English sound, revealing…roots in 1980s bands like U2, Prefab Sprout, The Smiths, Squeeze and Tears for Fears.”

— Louisville Courier-Journal, 1997
