“Several of the songs are simply breathtaking… a contender likely to compete for album of the year.” – Blurt-online.com
“More important, the songs on their third album are their sharpest batch to date, ranging from Thin Lizzy-influenced rockers to desolate, country-steeped ballads.” – KEXP/Seattle
“It’s a love letter to classic American songwriting, a wonder of well-nourished craftsmanship. That title: poetry. As evocative a phrase as any you’ll hear this year.” – Seattle City Arts
“Muscle for the Wing rocks with dueling electric guitars, arrests with sweeping ballads and engulfs with full harmonies—all while maintaining the band’s most crucial elements, Dodson’s intoxicating songwriting and incomparable heart.” – Portland Willamette Week
“Catchy choruses and classic rock and roll guitars will never be out of style, and in turn, neither will Muscle For The Wing.” – Aquarian Weekly (NJ)

“But there are bands, such as Blitzen Trapper or Star Anna and The Laughing Dogs, that rise above the din through sheer virtue of their undeniable merit. They write good songs, and they sound authentic. The Maldives out of Seattle are another one of those bands.”
