1999 - Maximum Ink

"Boney Fingers' Orbitson adds vocals to finely tuned instrumentals and largely succeed in energizing a mix of country blues, giddyup rock, and Spanish frills. Musicianship is a premium and closely woven solos knit a strong fabric of acoustic and electric roots music."

1997 - Shepherd Express

"The disc reveals the deep grooves the Dead left on the imagination of Boney Fingers' songwriters. Echoes of electric blues and Chuck Berry are in their chromosomes, along with the limber-legged funky rhythms and Americana textures that characterized the Dead's music."

1996 -Maximum Ink

"Riding high on those highway blues, the sure-fire boogie of Wisconsin's own Boney Fingers travels from party tunes to space jams, spinning tales on this self-titled debut...After another interstellar pickin' and grinnin' session bubbles up, there's no doubt that cosmic forces and blue collar philosophies are being mixed into a powerful brew."

1996 - City Edition

"Their self-titled release Boney Fingers was a nice surprise. Tracks such as "Madison Moonlight" and "Kind Factory" work well. Good percussion arrangements and doses of saxophone provide strong moments."
