    For his eighth album, he has returned to renowned metal producer Ed Stasium, who delivers both high-impact guitar and sufficient clarity for enjoyment of Heat's droll way with words. [Apr 2002, p.120]

    The Rev is still peddling a buoyant mix of rockabilly, surf and cow-punk aimed at covering life's sinful little pleasures. [Apr 2002, p.98]

    Speed rock, Gretsch guitar thunder and frontman heroics give this rockabilly cat his claws. [#54, p.102]

    Although it peters out in its last 10 minutes, Lucky 7 is a workmanlike and thrilling if unadventurous addition to Heat's fiery catalog, and provides him with more fuel for his explosive gigs.

    The Reverend's music is all relative. I think he is one of the best, original, no-sell-out artists of the last 10 years. This album ROCKS, as do all his releases......… Collapse

    I love almost all of this CD, however, as wonderful a bass player as he is I could live without the last track "You've got a Friend in Jimbo".
