Review from Clash Magazine:
Three notable faces, Parlor Greens is a new name, and a fresh approach. Debut album 'In Green / We Dream' is a superb evocation of those seminal Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott, and Jimmy McGriff records, while also containing its own flavour. Rooted in gospel, it became a key component of soul jazz, before making a huge impression on R&B, funk, and beyond. The 21st century has brought a slew of new names, each upholding the B3 tradition, while adding to it in their own way.
Drummer Tim Carman is rock solid, while the clipped, supremely effective guitar lines from Jimmy James are a world unto themselves. Adam Scone holds down the organ chair, working faithfully but also with no small degree of passion.
Predominantly recorded live to tape, there's a pleasing in-performance feel to 'In Green / We Dream' — 11 tracks, 10 originals, it's an all-meat and no-gristle Hammond cookout.
The record closes with its sole cover — a take on George Harrison's immortal 'My Sweet Lord'. Reworking those instantly infectious melodies proves to be a master stroke, with Parlor Greens indenting themselves on the Beatles legend's solo masterpiece. A mere 35 minutes long, 'In Green / We Dream' cuts all the fat away, leaving only muscle behind; a labour of love, it's a supremely entertaining homage to those Hammond greats that also points to a bright future for that glorious instrument.
'Driptorch' is a neat, funky opener, an atmospheric roller that could come from some lost Steve McQueen detective movie. 'Sugar Maple' has a blissfully sweet feel, while stomping title cut 'In Green We Dream' uses some wonderful chord work. 'West Memphis' is sheer deep funk, the bubbling bass line interwoven around the neat guitar.

Reseña de Clash Magazine:
Tres caras notables, Parlor Greens es un nombre nuevo y un enfoque fresco. El álbum debut 'In Green / We Dream' es una evocación soberbia de esos seminales discos de Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott y Jimmy McGriff, al tiempo que contiene su propio sabor. Arraigado en el gospel, se convirtió en un componente clave del soul jazz antes de causar una enorme impresión en el R&B, el funk y más allá. El siglo XXI ha traído una serie de nombres nuevos, cada uno manteniendo la tradición del B3 mientras le aporta algo propio.
El baterista Tim Carman es sólido como una roca, mientras que las líneas de guitarra recortadas y supremamente efectivas de Jimmy James son un mundo en sí mismas. Adam Scone sostiene la silla del órgano, trabajando fielmente pero también con no poca pasión.
Grabado predominantemente en vivo en cinta, 'In Green / We Dream' tiene una agradable sensación de actuación en vivo — 11 temas, 10 originales, es un festín de Hammond sin desperdicios.
El disco cierra con su único cover — una versión del inmortal 'My Sweet Lord' de George Harrison. Reelaborar esas melodías instantáneamente infecciosas resulta ser un golpe maestro, con Parlor Greens imprimiéndose en la obra maestra solista del legendario Beatle. Con apenas 35 minutos de duración, 'In Green / We Dream' elimina toda la grasa, dejando solo músculo; una obra de amor, es un homenaje supremamente entretenido a esos grandes del Hammond que también apunta a un brillante futuro para ese glorioso instrumento.
'Driptorch' es un opener funky y pulido, un rodillo atmosférico que podría venir de alguna película de detectives perdida de Steve McQueen. 'Sugar Maple' tiene una sensación dulce y beatífica, mientras que el tema titular 'In Green We Dream' usa un trabajo de acordes maravilloso. 'West Memphis' es funk profundo puro, con la línea de bajo burbujeante entretejida alrededor de la guitarra elegante.
