"This elaborate, well-crafted tribute to the jazz-fueled rock of Steely Dan comes courtesy of Grand Rapids' Hey Marco!, led by singer and keyboard player Mark Jackson. The band has become a soul/pop/rock favorite with tight harmonies, flavorful horns and an entertaining mix of covers and original material. When they pay homage to Steely Dan, a big influence on Jackson, they're in their happy zone." - localspins.com
"The album contains eleven songs and not one of them should be skipped over. the album clearly infuses style such as funk, soul, gospel and R&B as well. The band not only infuses all these style but they do it damn well. You can bear comparison to bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo and Maroon 5. All things considered Give Love more than delivers. As the saying goes, it’s better late than never so let’s be thankful that Give Love finally arrived." - Equal Ground
