The band have stated that they formed with the intention of emulating 1920s–1930s vocal jazz group The Boswell Sisters.[2][8] As well as detecting influences from The Boswell Sisters, reviewers have also compared the band to Cab Calloway and Django Reinhardt.[9][7]
Reviews of the band have been positive. OPB's show Oregon Art Beat praised the band's "high-energy shows" and "seamless harmonies".[8] In a review of their album Sleepytime in Chinatown, the Jazz Society of Oregon praised its "impeccable harmonies" and "retro sound".[9]
