"The album's 12 songs glide along as smoothly as a well-tuned locomotive humming on down the track, with sweet harmonies and an overall amiability to go with virtuoso execution."

-  David Menconi, The News & Observer

"Purity of faith is a holy aspiration that's celebrated at various points throughout the self-titled debut from Apex quartet The Whistlestop. On the other hand, music that's willing to mix things up—not to dilute, but to expand—has divine power all its own. That, more than anything, defines The Whistlestop's roll call.... It's old-time rock 'n' roll and blues and country and gospel, but none of those entirely."

-  Rick Cornell, The Independent
