"Produced by two-time Grammy winner George Massenburg, "Way Out" is a mean mash-up of ska, punk, reggae and rock. [...] the album is as progressive as it is non-pretentious. [...] The end result leaves no question as to whether you should be bobbing your head, tapping your feet or leaving your seat. [...] Truly the sound of musical Epicureans. 4/5" 

- Remi L. Roy, Ottawa XPress 

"North American ska is a tough thing to do well. There’s nothing worse than hearing what should be an extremely tight ship sail sloppily [...] Montreal’s Stepper, thankfully, are anything but sloppy. The band is strong, the vocals clever, horns full and the vibe energetic. Tunes like “Restless” and “Running From Home” are good fun and good examples of the fact that Stepper enjoy catchy power pop alongside their Specials. 8/10" 

- Erin Macleod, Montreal Mirror 

"Stepper is one of those up and coming bands from Montreal that everyone should pay attention to. [...]“Way Out” displays a level songwriting and musicianship that is hard to come by amidst today’s ska bands. [...]Stepper’s cd launch on February 19th in Montreal had the crowd in an uproar, and their live show keeps getting better and better." 

- Aaron Lakoff, MusicalOccupation.com 

"Way Out is filled with upbeat(obviously) tunes that are tight and well crafted. [...]Inspired guitar playing, tight horn lines and 3 different vocalists taking turns at the mic keep the entire album fresh and unpredictable."

"Way Out commence et se termine avec force [...] avec un petit quelque chose de unique sur chaque piste. [...] Un album qui me surprend, j’aime beaucoup ça! 8.5/10"
