Reception
editTracks compiled on Rock Legends: Buffalo were reviewed at I-94 Bar. Steve Danno-Lorkin described "Suzie Sunshine" as "a great piece of heavy melodic rock with some neat slide guitar from [Baxter]," while "Sunrise (Come My Way)" should "escalate the band to the worldwide stadiums", "Shylock", will "blow your head off with high-energy rifforama" and "Skirt Lifter" was "unlikely to be played on Catholic church-owned radio station 2SM."[2]
