“Review For 'Holding On'
"The guitar part was magnificent. The effect on the guitar gave it a mystical sound with such warmth backing it up. The vocals reminded me of possibly a Boston or similar band from that era. Very catchy lyrics and chorus. The transitional periods of music were very intricate and pleasant to hear. The song progressed with a great tone. The drums kept a simple beat in the background and keep me tapping my foot. The vocals were really what kept my attention though. Complimented with the guitar's sweet tone, the vocals were loud and proud in this song."”
Bill Capshaw - Billboard
“Review For 'Playing The Game'
"Booming horn section sets the tone for an old school soul testifier to lead a revival style stomper. Delivering some tandem vocals in the Sam & Dave tradition, these two vets are appealing against a Motown type groove with tons of appeal. Broken romance song has a lot of those feel bad/good lyrics that Dozier Holland used to crank out. Retro but feels so good for it!"”
Donald McPherson - Rolling Stone
