Dave Terpeny with KyndMusic / RightAction says, "This Northwest band's third album, Catch it Try, is an interesting grab bag of 13 tunes, all of which provide ample evidence that Josh Scott (vocals, harmonica, sax, flute, keys), Obie Scott (vocals, guitars), Nimai Pickup (vocals, bass) and Fletch (drums) are talented performers. Especially noteworthy are the fluid sounds of Obie Scott's very animated guitar riffs and solos."
