    Isaak, whose singing voice is naturally full and resonant, is most at home with the Presley tunes... but the Lewis and Perkins homages don't quite add up. [Jan 2012, p.91]

    His aim is true, his enthusiasm genuine and even the one new self-penned track, Live It Up, slots in nicely. [Mar 2012, p.105]

    It's unlikely that anyone will prefer the covers to the originals, but Isaak's fans will find plenty to enjoy in this rock 'n' roll love letter to a bygone era.

    There's no denying the aplomb with which Isaak handles even Presley's vocal parts, which are respectful without being slavish copies.

    He's delivered a sincerely meant yet curiously staid and pedestrian tribute.
