"This is bar none the best instrumental ska album released in this decade (and quite possibly any other). It's great party music, great dance music, just generally great music. Best tracks are Daniel Ortega, A Shot in the Dark, and Moanin'. The best Scofflaws album by far and one of the best ska albums ever."
Suberb ska classic

"The first Scofflaws album, and in my opinion, the best. Every song is great. This CD has been a staple in my music collection for several years. I recently bought a copy for my friend and he can't stop groovin' on their great sound. If you don't have this CD yet, you're missing out.

"This is a great CD for any ska fan. I enjoy playing "man with the golden arm" in my car with the windows down."
Ska Survivors

"This is a very good album demonstrates the musical abilities of the band. Really ask yourself how many 90's ska revival bands had such a plethora of instrumentals. The Scofflaws pull it off because their players are more talented than average even possessing elements of Jazz improvisation. If I were to compare this album to another artist, it would likely be the Skatellites. The two "singles" off this album are likely Rudy's Back and Paul Getty, two of the only songs with full-length lyrical accompaniment. If you like the Scofflaws, you should have bought this album yesterday, if you like ska (even old ska) you should buy this album today."
Skankin Good Album

"I dont care what anybody says, this is a damn good album. Id prolly rate this as one of their best albums. "Goin back to Kingston", "Guru", "The Man with the Golden Arm" are the standout tracks. Keep on skankin"
