    White Reaper Does It Again is a catchy, era-defying debut from a promising new band. There's not much more to it than that- the record won't change your life, but it's a great summer driving album that you may find yourself sitting in your car still listening to even after you've reached your destination. Enticing enough to warrant following the band's future endeavors. 8.3/10

    Scuzzy, hard-edged, melodic power pop with crashing guitars and rinky-dink keyboard accents. The freshest take I've heard on this classic sound since The Exploding Hearts more than a decade ago. 8.5/10.

    Awesome group. Exceptionally talented. Songs are catchy and youthful. It does make me want to get in my car with the window down and listen to this band!

    There's an unmistakable, tightly drilled quality to all his [Tony Esposito's] work. [Sep 2015, p.117]

    With 12 songs in about a half hour, the record kind of blazes by you but gives you plenty of room for multiple listens--it’s not a ‘deep,’ layered record to warrant that but one that gives you a rush of grime and song each time you do race through it.

    Jaunty and beholden to fuzz, White Reaper comes on like Kentucky's answer to Supergrass on this charming debut, crammed with short melodic powerpop gems. [Sep 2015, p.83]
