Patrick Rodgers writing for Nashville Scene has this to say about the Brian Olive oeuvre:  “Think high cooing vocals and airy harmonies above bluesy, gum-smacking grooves that simmer and shimmer, augmented on phenomenal cuts like ‘Back Sliding Soul’ by arrangements full of ear candy — underwater boogie piano, rump-rocking percussion, shrapnel blasts of rubbery guitar and greasy sax, and Esquivel-like electro-doinkage (wait, is that really a bagpipe?).”
