"Stripwax: The World's First and Only Comic Record Review" wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "Hi kids! It's yer favorite rock radio programmer over at Kay-En-Oh-Bee Eff-Emmmm … Howzabout this Dan Auerbach kid, eh? He provides the blue-eyed soulful moan behind the terrific blues duo The Black Keys, and this week he makes his solo debut … It has a throwback sound to it. Auerbach's voice lands somewhere between Gregg Allman and John Fogerty, and although the elpee is a step ahead of the American primitive sound of his full time band, Auerbach remains firmly rooted in the blues tradition on this release … That means you kids out there with no sense of musical history will pass it right up" (2/12/09, p. 31).
