Go Jimmy Go anticipates the long hot summer with this impressive collection of original ska, rock-steady, reggae-beat, rock and classic American soul. "In-Between Times," designated as the first single off the album, epitomizes the band's skill at genre-blending; there are hints of King Floyd and the Staple Singers but nothing that infringes on the other artists' work. There's no suggestion that GJG is mocking or patronizing the older styles either. In short, the top dogs of Hawaii's ska-rock scene are taking it to the next level. Vocalist James "Bison" Friedmann is one of the attractions here. The vibrant interplay between the horns and the rhythm section adds power and gives GJG an authentic organic ambiance. The band and their studio guests maintain the original Afro-Caribbean spirit of ska and rock-steady while eschewing faux-Jamaican affectations. -John Berger (2002, Star-Bulletin)
