Folk Wales​
 
"Some Glad Morning conjures an atmosphere somewhere between O Brother and Kenny Ball's Jazzmen. If you fancy a debate about whether the devil has the best tunes, you could do worse than start here"
RnR​
 
"We shouldn't be too surprised at the content of the latest album by the always listenable Jake Leg Jug Band. This may be a little different subject matter-wise from its predecessors, but it's just as good”
Blues In The South​
 
“An excellent release...a high bar for the genre”
Fatea​
 
"The vocalists sing with gut-busting gusto...and that distinctively propulsive jug band rhythm. Some Glad Morning is joyous music performed with joyous abandon, a tent revival where jazz and country musicians lead the singing. 4 of 5 stars”
The Journal Of Gospel Music (USA)
 
"This album is never anything less than foot-stomping”
