Press Reviews The Edmonton Journal ran a great Roger Levesque piece on the album and trio on February 3, 2001. Roger had this to say about the album, "To these ears, Northrup's songs offer an insightful depth you won't find with most up-and-coming songwriters who can get lost in penning love songs. Despite it's dark material, 'Slow Burn Avenue' sparkles with energy and sincerity." David Crossen of Outlooks magazine out of Calgary has also given the album a great review as has Don McSwiney and Bill Richardson of CBC Radio.
