| "Unique amongst local groups I’ve seen over the last few years, Ruckus Collective are a band that really make you move. No gimmicks, just a ferocious jazz-funk-rock fusion with a rhythm section that could drive any band. They have even the most apathetic of audience members tapping their feet; and most enthusiastic openly dancing - including a girl to my right almost rolling out of her hips. Comparisons to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are lazy; but built around solid bass riffs, and what sounds like (though probably aren‘t) improvised guitar ones, they do at times recall Tribute to Jack Johnson era Miles Davis. Add to that early Parliament, a dash of Dancehall, Hip-Hop, and some post-punk guitar work, and you’re closer to their sound. Of course, none of this really matters nowadays when everything we listen to is hybrid. The important thing is that Ruckus Collective can’t be ignored. Even the guys on the fruit machines stop to listen." – LiveMusicScene.co.uk |  – Venue Magazine |

| "Ruckus Collective are bold as brass and funkier than old socks – one of Bristol’s hottest bands right now" – Mad Method | |
| "These young funkophiles have the skill and energetic invention to propel them to greater things... it’s the rhythmic spice of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the fizz of Ozomatli. Sax masters and effervescent MCs, they’d turn Monday morning into a party – prepare to be moved" – Fact Fans | |
| "A frenetic, unhinged yet soulful brand of funk... live, they are a formidable force, combining evident musicianship with an energy that channels a definite punk vibe" – London Tourdates | |
| "One of the best new bands I’ve seen for a long, long time. Funky, jazzy, rocky, dubby, all thrown together with some seriously talented musicians and some top MC’ing. You have to go and see these guys. Been to see them again already since last Saturday on the strength of this gig." – PRSC | |
| "A modern funk band that didn’t make me want to rip my own ears off" – BBC Bristol Uncovered |
