==Critical response==
In May 2009, Jones' song "Parasomnia" appeared on a ''Guitar World'' featured CD, ''Guitar Masters Vol. 2,'' among B.B. King, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Carlos Santana. The Canadian national newspaper ''Globe and Mail'' referred to Jones as "one of this country's top blues guitar stars". The US ''Blues Revue Magazine'' stated that "Jones' style is a fluid amalgam of T-Bone Walker's big, bright chords, Johnny "Guitar" Watson's slashing leads, and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's jazzy sting". ''Billboard'' called Jones part of "a new wave of young talent moving onto Canada’s blues stage."
Charlie Musselwhite stated that "JW Jones is one of the best guitar players I’ve heard in a long time. He and his band do great tunes with cool arrangements and I love listening to them. They play with taste and fire at the same time." Guitarist Little Charlie Baty has stated that "JW is one of the young guns in the blues guitar world who consistently delivers the goods on record and on stage - and of course I'm gonna dig anybody who writes a tune called 'Batyology'!" (an instrumental that Jones wrote in homage to Baty). Canadian-born Hollywood actor Dan Aykroyd, who is also known for his ''Blues Brothers'' persona "Elwood Blues" has called the group an "amazing blues band".〔Dan Aykroyd said this during a live performance with Jones at the Rainbow Bistro on September 2, 2005〕
