“It's a debut greatest hits collection, but that's all part of the fun. This ensemble of Nashville session men led by luthier Jeff Senn service up a set of surf, Japanese eleki, noir instrumentals, and sonic kitsch, accented by plenty of reverb, tremolo, and righteous twang.”

— Michael Dregni, Vintage Guitar Magazine

“When a band decides to call their debut album Greatest Hits, Volume 2, they know they better have some serious chops to back it up. And these guys definitely do. To call the CD eclectic is an understatement. There are Spaghetti Western sounds, Quincy Jones, Austin Powers-type themes, and even psychedelia. Surf enthusiasts have plenty to get their rocks off, including a tribute to Eleki (Japanese surf music) legend Takeshi Terauchi. I can honestly say the sweetest tune we’ve received in our mailbox so far is one called “The Last Song”. ”

— C.V. Gouveia, Real South Magazine

“...Did I mention all the guitar-playing on this record is terrific, as is all the musicianship? It is. Killer good... ...this record makes me think of what would have happened if some of the Wrecking Crew had formed their own surf band and recorded and performed under their own name...”

— Noel, Surf Guitar 101

“...it expands beyond the typical surf-band territory to include spaghetti-Western motifs (“Eastwood Outlaw”), Austin Powers-worthy mod sounds (“Attention Shoppers”) and psychedelia (“Hippy Trip” and “Numb One”). But fear not, surf purists — there’s plenty for you: “Invasion of Malibu,” “Boogie Bored” and “Arigato Terauchi,” a tribute to eleki (Japanese surf music) legend Takeshi Terauchi. But the standout may be “The Last Song,” a gorgeous, haunting melody in the vein of Santo & Johnny’s “Sleepwalk.””

— Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene

“...love of classic ’60s instrumental music: James Bond soundtracks, Link Wray rumbles, psycho surf, Japanese eleki — all musical styles that shone a spotlight on the electric guitar in all its twangy, tremoloed, reverberated, fuzzed-out glory. As Crazy Aces, Senn & Co. (guitarist Sam Hawksley, bassist Oscar Cary and drummer Tom Hoey) tackle some challenging territory, including Dick Dale spinouts, classic tracks from eleki superstars Takeshi Terauchi and Yuzo Kayama, and theme songs from Goldfinger, Thunderball and Hawaii Five-0. And with Senn’s arsenal of vintage amps and instruments and ear for tone, it’s an auditory orgy for surf lovers, gear freaks and pedal geeks of all stripes.”

— Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene
