- Radio Cure (musicyouneed.blogspot.com)
"A ragged, sloppy pop charmer from Texas...like its came from a session in the Westerberg basement [where] Ryan Adams and Tommy Keene showed up and everyone got laughing drunk."
- Americana-UK (www.americana-uk.com)
"...Ten beautiful and catchy songs that breath out authenticity, freshness, and emotion...without a doubt one of the greatest albums of this year."

"Stunning...it's not too often you hear a 10-track album and fall for each track on first listen. An assured a debut as I've heard."

"Solid indie rock...excellent debut album."
- Kontrastradio Germany (www.kontrastradio.net)
"...reminiscent of some of the golden goodies that were once spun on 70's AM radio...It's too real, too Texas, and too poppy for the market as it stands. Their loss is our gain."
- Scissor Socket Shocker Zine
"An accomplished songsmith...a tightly played, engaging set of high quality roots pop...conjures memories of early Freedy Johnston and perhaps Josh Rouse at times. A very promising start from another fresh talent, well worth keeping an eye on."
