“Listeners prone to stream-of-consciousness wanderings might find themselves distracted by thoughts of Tom Joad's ghost materializing through the Oklahoma dust, of the modern-day Woody-isms of Butch Hancock (whose "Boxcars" is given a fine reading here), of resurrected Dashboard Saviors and of current kindred spirits like the Old 97's and Mike Herrera's Tumbledown.”
— Rick Cornell, Independent Weekly, January 2010
“Most reviewers file away the records they get as freebies, this one is staying close to my cd player... A superb record, rich in Americana and fine songs. ”
— Andy Riggs, Americana UK, February 2010
“The group connects brilliantly with chokepoints: the prison song (Convict Blues) to the murder-ballad (Cold Cold Ground) through the hymn to the hobos (Oil Company Blues) or on straight and dusty roads. ”
Theres Always Someone Cooler Than You (France), February 2010
“They've got a dusty, country-blues shuffle and singer/guitarist Kevin Wolfe switches easily between his rusty croon and gruff bite. While most in this neighborhood work a Stonesy-country vibe tossed with a sprinkling of Replacements insouciance, Hearts and Daggers are more authentic, mixing bluegrass, Bakersfield C&W and whiskey-fueled outlaw attitude.”
— Chris Parker, Independent Weekly
