“It seems as if the power-pop torch will never be extinguished in these parts, and that's a good thing, at least when bands like the Avatars can make that familiar Big Star/Cheap Trick/Material Issue/Matthew Sweet formula of huge guitars, massive choruses and thundering drums sound as fresh and vital as it does on songs like "Oh Denise" and "Clockwork," a cautionary (or is that celebratory?) tale of "another Midwest love affair"..."
Jim DeRogatis – Chicago Sun Times
"Snarling guitars and snotty attitude drive “Only One” and “Burn You,” but it’s not all blazing speed and spit. In a dazzling twist, “Oh Denise,” with its soaring, multi-tracked vocals and upbeat glam presence, recalls the sexy swagger of T. Rex and Queen."
– Patrick Conlan Illinois Entertainer
