“What strikes you from the first time you listen is the crafty, prominent sounding deep slide sounds in all the songs. A sound in the opening song "People do Blues" which resembles Mark Knopfler's "Money for Nothing" and a beautiful instrumental sound midway in the cd "Bodhi Surfing" is a similar approach. It is obviously inspired by Mark Knopfler. In the next track, the beautiful "I just got the News" he sounds like a mix between Sonny Landreth and Ry Cooder and he mimics the sound of these 2 top guitar players effortlessly. In Acoustic Delta Blues we can hear his tribute to Robert Lee Burnside simply called "RL Burnside Blues". TO QUOTE RL'S OWN WORDS: "Well, well, well". But it gets better because "Chasing my Tail" surpasses everything prior effortlessly. Intense deep-sounding slide sounds, topped with Jeff's deep, warm voice.”

— Ron Bervoets, ROOTSTIME - Belgium

“Though Wyatt has taken three years to produce this album [People Do Blues], blues has been around a lot longer and has created traditions and modes of expression this record only begins to explore. Wyatt sings and plays with charm and those who favour a flavourful approach to swampy and slide guitar driven blues-rock to flashy but sterile blues (the curse of most contemporary blues) will like this record. ”

— Tom Harrison, The PROVINCE - Vancouver

"People do Blues" has fourteen self-written (original) songs which are all at home in the wide range of country blues, Southern rock blues, New Orleans blues and Chicago blues. People do blues ...... the title track and the instrumentals "Bodhi Surfing," "Butt Burger Boogie" might bring to mind Mark Knopfler and together with Brendan Croker introduce a new lease of life to The Notting Hillbillies and maybe provide for guitar / virtuoso Jeff Wyatt a place to provide a guest / support act .....

— Francois Braeken (a.k.a. SWA), BEALESTREET - Belgium

“When I first listened to Jeff, his music really surprised me. The first track I listened to was Part-Time Love, Full-Time Pain, and I was floored at his ability to mix blues guitar, jazz bass, furious techno-esk drums (a la David Bowie's Earthling), and a strong vocal ability....”

— J. Ostrow, MicControlblog.com

“His guitar playing is attractive and soulful,... his singing... is not unlike Waylon Jennings..." "His lyrics, too, have an honesty and sincerity that is appealing..." "A song such as 'CORAE CORAE' makes you wonder how good an album he'd make if he concentrated on blues-rock.”

— Tom Harrison, The PROVINCE - Vancouver

"In as much as the style of Jeff Beck is difficult to put a label on…this album ranges from jazz rock tinted guitar numbers, pure blues rock over calm laid back ballads and country tinted songs, all the way to folk and world music."

— Ron Bervoets, ROOTSTIME

“Jeff had a considerable professional stage presence,…His guitar riffs were strong.”

— The ROGUE FOLK CLUB - Vancouver

“Excerpt of Greenfield and Wyatt cd review "SONGS FROM THE ROTHSTEIN": “Greenfield’s fourth and most atmospheric album thanks to Wyatt’s stately strings and fluid guitar…”.”

— Tom Harrison, The PROVINCE - Vancouver
