"No Place Like Home" review from Illinois Entertainer:
Steeped in classic rock tradition but with a sound tuned after years touring on the national blues and jam band circuit, Rollover are veterans of the Chicago scene. Their experience shines through on their third album, No Place Like Home, a freewheeling, sunny mix of impressive musicianship in service of great melody and songwriting. There are no extended jams or any extensive noodling here, as every track clocks in at short, pop-song lengths, and every note is played with purpose. Who says efficiency can't be liberating?
