"Generous Thieves proves with their new EP that Canada has incredible reggae artists too. The band’s music benefits from easygoing energy, diverse themes, and reassuring compositions that we should tune into immediately. Their music is a fantastic addition to the playlists of devout reggae fans and Canadian music lovers looking to experience the genre for the first time. If I were you, get listening, and prepare to be swept away by the world of reggae."
- Jonathan Pabico, The Other Press
"Will this Vancouver-based reggae band steal your heart? Probably. In just five songs, Generous Thieves masterfully delivers a commentary on racial injustice and the housing crisis. Their first reggae album is both relaxing and hard-hitting punk wrapped into one very cohesive package. Indeed, they reveal the severity of where they are going by building on the past and the people that have walked the path before them."
- Kelly Chia, The Peak
