"Laurence delivers a heaping helping of sensual positivity and optimism…." Marty Gunther of Blues Blast Magazine, Creve Couer, Illinois, USA

"Lucas has been described by one sound engineer as "the greatest guitarist I have heard." Think Eric Clapton in his youth and at his best and you will understand this statement. Simple blues riffs or driving soaring guitar solos are all accomplished with equal skill by Lucas." Rory Stanbridge of FATEA Records UK

"Couple dans l'esprit de celui que forment Derek Trucks et Susan Tedeschi, Megan et Lucas y mêlent leurs timbres pour délivrer des images de sunsets rougeoyants, tandis que la guitare de ce dernier en accentue encore la référence." Patrick Dallongeville of Paris-Move Blues Magazine
