"The Devils make a joyful noise, a mix of jazz, blues and soul, touched by reggae- especially on the opening cut Without You. This short album (seven songs, just shy of 22 minutes long) is exhilarating. There’s a Latin thread that ties all of these songs together, making me wish there were more here than just the seven. If you walked into a bar and these guys were on stage grooving away, you’d be thinking you were in for the night of your life before even sitting down." - Gonzo Magazine

"Shake up a batch of granizado de limón or maybe piña coladas, close your eyes and let this seven-track EP of originals transport you to Canal Street, Havana, the French Caribbean and beyond. Ms.Torres, ably backed by a core section on drums and bass - augmented, on selected tracks, by electric piano, organ, sax, trombone and clarinet -- takes us on a melodious tour brushed by sensual breezes, romantic notions and rhythmic push-ups. Best tracks to skirmish with include Criminal, King of the Block, Sticky Fingers, and the set's pièce de résistance, Before You Go. - David Farrell, New Canadian Music

"I have had the pleasure of hearing and hiring Irene Torres & The Sugar Devils on multiple occasions for our dance community in Toronto and they have always blown us away with their passion for deeply rooted music and kick-ass rhythms. I would describe Irene Torres and The Sugar Devils as super friendly, hard-working, and most importantly, they really know their stuff.” - Randy Panté, Yonge and Bloor Blues Dance event organizer
