    The overall feel is of skilled vets taking a break to play around, tossing out ideas for barroom jams and wild mash-ups and then daring themselves to bring them to life.

    Great Chicago Fire is that rare collaboration where both sides seem to inform one another equally and derive new strengths from teaming up.

    It's hot, loose, raucous, and retro in an overlapping-era kind of way. [Jun 2012, p.93]

    No surprises, but impeccably predictable.

    Great Chicago Fire is the sound of a group of men who grateful to be working together, happy to be playing their favorite style of music and unable to contain their excitement.

    Country rock done right, ie: without anyone taking themselves too seriously.
