- “Their songs are reminiscent of some of the great bands of the 90’s, as one can hear the Nirvana and Pavement influences, and even some of Tool’s ethereal elements. Songs such as “This Place is Like a Ghost Town,” “A Crack in the Mirror,” “Contaminated,” and “My Weapon of Choice,” show that there were some folks out there who were smart enough to avoid the pop-punk, rap-metal, nu-metal bullshit that spewed forth from the radio all those years ago, and take their influences from the previous generation’s better bands, while not being copycats, and pushing the boundaries of their style of rock.” – Wordkrapht, Greenville SC
- “There’s a rough edge to 72nd and Central that’s intentional, giving the songs a ragged finish that speaks of both hunger and desperation, the sort of sounds made by an eager young band barely able to contain its energy, its plans and its sound.” – The Daily Times, Maryville TN
- “It is a cohesive, if dirty statement, on the power of rock.” – The Equal Ground
