REVEIWS:
CMJ (4/19/99, p.28) - "...strong album among those swing-tinged or otherwise. Here's hoping that the zoot-suit wearing Lindy hoppers will pick up on more traditional jump-blues contenders, as a result..."
Living Blues (5-6/99, pp.81-2) - "...[Omar Dykes] has...been reincarnated as a jump blues shouter - and the change does him some good...its consistent rhythmic drive and tight horn arrangements set the disc head and shoulders above [his] previous releases."
