Review from San Diego Troubadour (by Frank Kocher): Frank Kocher describes the debut as an instrumental soul-funk record with a strong San Diego atmosphere, built around tight horn arrangements, organ, percussion, bass and guitar. He highlights the influence of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Isaac Hayes, The Meters and Afrobeat, noting the concise grooves, memorable hooks and restrained solos. Tracks such as “Layin' Low,” “City Heights,” “Lane Changin',” “Funky River,” “The Blvd.,” “Sweltering Heights” and “Passing Clouds” are singled out for their particular instrumental character.
