“The Paris Escovedo Project spiced up the festivities with some fiery hot Latin sounds.It didn't take long for the salsa dancers to get up and move on "Mamita Linda," "Sauvecito," "Que Vida.Special guest vocalist Greg Esparza joined the group to perform "Latin Lady," and "Eden."”

— Ricky Ricardo, BrooWaHa

“Lead singer Greg Esparza & THEE MIDNITERS, with special guest drummer Robert Zapata, were on the mark as they put on a great performance of classic Chicano rock & roll, East Side style, that had the Gente either singing along or dancing in the aisles.”

— Frankie Firme, News From the Brown Side of Town 5.23.12

"This new guy KNEW the "East Side sound", and wrapped himself soulfully into its rhythm & lyrics like an incarnation of Chicano cool from back in the day."

— Frankie Firme, LatinoLA.com

"The real contest would be to see which of Friday night's closers would walk away with the prize. Thee Midniters and The Trashmen were both as good as I could have possibly imagined, but, for very different reasons. While possessed of only two original members, bassist Jimi Espinosa, and one of the saxman (Lo siento mucho, I forgot his name), Thee Midniters put on a tight, professional, and just plain unbelievably good set. They did ALL the right songs, and none of the ballads. They were there to represent as Thee Midniters, and that they did, laying it on thick and heavy with Garage Rock and Ass kickin' Soul and R&B. Original lead singer Lil' Willie, who alternates between singing with Thee Miditers and preaching, was nowhere to be found, but a confident, killer-diller, young frontman did the band's original material and covers of the day justice."

— Gentleman John Battles, Rocktober Reviews

“East L.A.'s Thee Midniters features only two original members, bassist Jimmy Espinoza and saxophonist Larry Rendon, but singer Greg Esparza turns in a energetic approximation of original leader Little Willie G. "Whittier Blvd.," "Empty Heart," "Gloria" and "Land of a Thousand Dances" were all jubilant; Kid Congo Powers joined the band for a song.”

— Phil Gallo, Sound Spike
