This isn't your dad's Jimmy Smith records. He puts an extremely personal and stylized stamp on the classic Hammond B3 organ combo, combining groove tunes, standards, originals, and even a swipe at Gustav Mahler with angular surprises, not the least of which is the appearance of Grammy-winner Dave Alvin on vocals for two cuts.

The Wire (UK)
"In a world of fakes, lookalikes, not terribly amusing kitsch, and nostalgia orgies, [Skip Heller] is in love with this music and has the skills to build something new from it."

All Music Guide
"In an era when so much music is rigidly and narrowly programmed, it's nice to find someone with the vision and ability to touch so many bases. And it all belongs in Heller's world."
