Down Beat (8/95, p.56) - 3.5 Stars - Good/Very Good - "...these choice tracks not only display Beausoleil's prowess in spicing the mix with swing, country, rock, blues and Caribbean flavors but also document the band's love for gigging."
Jazziz (10/95, p.100) - "...highly seasoned Cajun music...outlandishly fresh traditional folk and R&B....unaffected dance-floor exuberance....a recommended look-see at Beausoleil's early days on the road."
