*** "The one-time Adam Morley packs a lifetime of travelling the bars of the world into a debut that might just as easily be from 1928 as 2008. Bluesy Dobro guitar slides around the edge of the Londoner's whiskey-flavoured vocals, while echoes of Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt and Bob Frank play tag in lyrics that evoke images of friends and lovers lost and found on the road."
"Will you believe? Potential new star for Blues fans to worship"
*** "The fabulous Work reminded me of when I saw Seasick Steve on the Jools Holland show as it starts with him tapping the beat out with his foot, and then some excellent Dobro sounds came flooding out of the speaker, followed by his smoky worn out sounding voice…great song and magnificent musicianship."
"The musical equivalent of a stiff but excellent quality drink. Cheers" - Blues In London
"Naughty Jack ... this years Seasick Steve" - Blues Matters
"Simplistically beautiful, honestly gritty, silkily workmanlike, 'Good Times' by Naughty Jack is a thing of absolute pleasure to just sit and enjoy - superb!!" - Toxic Pete
"'Good Times' is a very amiable listen and admirably down to earth; it's also true to himself" - Whisperin & Hollerin
"Naughty Jack, aka Adam Morley, has created an album of timeless blues progressions that wouldn't have been out of place in the 1920s deep south of America" - New-Noise.net
"A charming album from start to finish" - SoundsXP
"The album is warm, mellow and laid-back. It is very pleasant and, despite an obviously prodigious musical ability, unpretentious" - The Music Magazine
"What the Pogues are to Punk/Folk the same has to be said about Naughty Jack and Blues" - Street Voice
"Worthy of being amongst anyones record collection" - Subba-Cultcha
"One night, when your woman's left you, your friends aren't answering their phones, and the corner shop's out of mid-priced whiskey; you'll need an album like this" - Tasty Fanzine
