Ben's solo CD "One Track Mind"  was reviewed by Downbeat Magazine in March 2003.  "To mere mortals it might seem that there's a twosome going at it.  Lacy's impressive technique is built upon complex slapping, hammer-ons, and rhythmically devised chord progressions."  Ben was also called "a true multitasking machine" in the same article.

The February 2007 issue of Guitar Player Magazine named Ben as one of the Top 100 Unsung Guitar Heroes.
