"The musical cocktail on 'Snowball' maintains the ants-in-your-pants energy of a bebop band, but with a highly composed sense of twentieth-century melody - the sort of unsingable lines that only an instrument could play. The rhythm, too, never settles, but still compels the body to move in frantic foot-taps and air-drumming."
(Ross Simonini, The Believer)
