"Jools Holland introduces the collection on this disc by saying he made the album with one of his best friends - the piano. Whilst that may be true, there are lots of Holland’s other friends on the album such as Tom Jones, Gregory Porter, Jamie Cullum and Ruby Turner. Listening to the album feels like one of his live shows as there are a mixture of instrumentals and vocal tracks here. Trombone Shorty with the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra gets into full swing on "Morris Dance". When I saw Holland in concert in Harrogate on his current tour he shared that the track was dedicated to his dog, Morris. If you have seen Jools on his current tour the album is a reminder of what a compelling show you will have witnessed." (Northeastpost.co.uk; 4 uit 5 sterren)
"It actually works better than it sounds. They are very energetic for a pair of sixty year olds and are still totally in love with music and performing. Plus, they know each other well, their on/off relationship dating back to Almonds recovery from a coma after a motorbike accident in 2004. Marc never had the best voice but he brings a colourful theatricality and a winking sense of cabaret. Jools uses the opportunity to move towards proper big band music. He plays less boogie-woogie and more swing, controlling his restless left hand and allowing his right to flourish. At some points, somewhat unbelievably, he plays fewer notes than he could and allows the horn section to hog the spotlight, blowing itself nicely purple. The real stars of the Orchestra are the horns, all eleven of them. If you close your eyes, click your heels three times and spin on a sixpence, you could almost imagine you are listening to The Count Basie Orchestra." (Afterword)
Ouderwets swingend rock 'n' roll- en rhythm 'n' blues-album (veel klassiekers en een paar nieuwe songs) waar het plezier afspat! Jones, 64, heeft nog steeds een powervolle strot. Holland begeleid met klaterende boogiepianoriedels en leidt een spetterende bigband.
