Reviews"...rooted in a rich mulch of jazz and blues and booze and poetry, it ranges from Beefheartian electric country-blues...to hip jazz poetry jazz jive...and various points between....extremely cool...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...savage blues, heavy duty guitars banging against bloodied washboard, sidestepping to New Orleans dirge-jazz and Cajun hopping...", "...Perhaps the weirdest good album you'll spin this year, COOL (featuring Tom Waits) is a brazen synthesis of musical Americana--a junk shop of tuneful treasures." - Rating: B+, "...serves up an anthology of hipster tastes--noir jazz, spoken word, blues, Cajun, New Orleans R&B....The playing is uniformly fiery and committed; the lyrics, ironic and humorous...", "...on EXTREMELY COOL....Weiss's gravelly voice and wild musical mood swings-from boogie-woogie to honky-tonk to dirty blues-make this comeback album one that can be spun repeatedly without fear of boredom."
