"The new Acey songs carry real weight, just going for it hard with passion and feeling. It's a big sound that mixes the best of glam influences with the punk fans have come to love from Acey and newer, more industrial and subverted house music gutter finery. "
- Morgan Yeats, Crusher Magazine
"On this Acey Slade and co. certainly surprise our ears with just how good his new sound is. It may also surprise the reader to know that this material has an extremely commercial edge to it, though this seems to fit with Acey’s inspiration that “rockers want to dance and dancers want to rock.”"
