    Rival Sons are a power trio plus singer in the traditional style, who might have made this album after listening to the first Led Zeppelin LP over and over for a day or two... Anyone who likes [60's hard rock] should ... check them out.

    Simply stuffed with rollicking tunes.

    Listen to this album with the volume cranked.

    It's really no gamble to suggest that over 31 magical minutes, Rival Sons have delivered the finest classic rock debut of the year. [25 Jun 2011, p.52]

    Pressure & Time can bog down in its own retro pretensions, but singer Jay Buchanan is an undeniable vocal force.

    Pressure & Time is short enough to fit on two sides of vinyl and, quaintly, leaves you wanting much more. [Aug 2011, p.89]

    Pressure and Time is revivalist rock inflected with just the right hue of the now.
