"You can tell from Matt North's drumming that he sees the big picture. His swinging shuffle is propulsive and safely tucked out of the vocalist's way." -- Modern Drummer Magazine
"Matt nails down the dynamics of each song with the articulate passion of an old Van Morrison record, pumped by Maria McKee's gospelly fervor." -- Jerseybeat.com
"North's drumming is solid and lively. His cymbal work and use of brushes are especially noteworthy." -- Nashville's Drummercafe.com
“His production shines and demonstrates he knows how to bring the best from the musician’s he’s working with. His drumming brings a subtle flavor which doesn’t overshadow the performances.” -- Innocent Words Magazine
