    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.

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

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

    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.
