"Picture yourself at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. It’s the small hours of the morning and there’s just a simple piano and microphone set-up on the stage. Here’s Charlie + Jake and this is Same Old Story...” - Pete Simson, BBC Radio Bristol, during a live session as their house band of the week.
"Charlie + Jake's debut single 'Still here' has a strong sense of the idea of feeling at home...” - Laura Netting, The Music Flow Magazine
