A DeBaser review by marcoroma praises Feels Like a New Morning as inspired and masterfully played. The reviewer highlights the tracks "Cover Me" and "Chained" as standouts. The newer album If Not Now, When? is described as sloppy and overly retro. Overall reaction is mixed, nostalgic for the earlier work.
