Carl Roa wrote in Guitar 2001 magazine, "If you could imagine Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana hanging out late night after the gig, trading some licks, you will get a good picture of what McAvinchey's playing is all about." Guitar Haus is a melodic hard rock recording that blends influences such as Santana, Ronnie Montrose, Michael Schenker and Gary Moore. The guitar work is up-front and center-stage as McAvinchey's own original compositions unfold and excite with bone-cutting tones, driving rhythms and assertive guitar work. With spirited drum tracks contributed by Nigel Olsson and Rod Morgenstein, Guitar Haus is a highly enjoyable, dynamic release with a multitude of guitar sounds and textures. Randy Allar summed it up for Music's Bottom Line magazine, "Guitar Haus is an impressive disc that plays consistent and to the point. You won't be disappointed."
