[11] The Chicago Tribune wrote that "Donald Kinsey, without benefit of special effects, puts on a guitar clinic on the Report's second album that should give pause to better-known gunslingers such as Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

"[12] Newsday concluded that "the title track, a barrelling number adorned with tight, sharp guitar figures, and 'See Her Again', with its similar power, show what the Kinsey Brothers are made of: blues with rock influences (particularly Jimi Hendrix for the guitarists), not a blues-influenced rock band.

"[17] The St. Petersburg Times praised Donald Kinsey and stated that "not since Jimi Hendrix has a black guitarist so effectively blended elements of blues and rock.

"[15] The Edmonton Journal said that "Kinsey approaches the blues from a devil-may-care stand point—we're almost talking brash, '60s British era Chicken Shack, or forsooth, Fleetwood Mac.

"[18] The Daily Herald determined that Midnight Drive is "an attempt to take the blues form one solid step farther, and, in doing that, it displays smashing originality and stays close the basics, too.
