- "Deres egen sound med perkusjon via stepping, Merediths fele, Adrians gitar og røffe vokal og deres miks av balkanrock, americana, og rockenroll gjør at hele platen er like gøy å lytte til som den må ha vært å spille inn. For du kan høre spillegleden og hvor gøy de har hatt det underveis". Musikkbloggen (in norsk). 2021-08-20.
