"Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the
last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little poignant...grown-up music
for an adolescent age."
- Jon Pareles, New York Times

"Vocally gifted and lyrically witty ... a peerless satirist."
- People Magazine

"A feisty post-punk feminist whose work brings to mind a cross between Liz Phair and Gertrude Stein."
- The New Yorker

"Sobule crafts smart, neoclassic pop with a middle child's talent for attentiongetting."
- Entertainment Weekly

"Where other 'quirky' musicians stagnate or flameout, Sobule only gets stronger... In the gets-better-with-every-album race, she's the rare real deal."
- Amazon.com

"Songwriting skills that transcend her one-novelty-hit wonder status."
- Village Voice

"Witty & clever."
- Vanity Fair

"Jill Sobule's winning ways tend to charm almost anyone who encounters the New York-based musician. Carried along on bouncy, irresistible melodies, her storylike lyrics combine wit and pathos with remarkable grace."
- Utne Reader

"One of pop's best satirists."
- New York Daily News

"Sobule possesses the uncommon ability to combine lilting, infectious melodies with personal and socially relevant lyrics, and then couch them in artfully crafted arrangements ... A top pop tunesmith."
- CMJ New Music Report

"A deft ironist. She is smart and original, a treasure undervalued by inevitable association with countless lessers who also happen to be singing about going to the laundromat in Brooklyn."
- The New Republic

"On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor."
-Amazon.com

"It's Sobule's gift, and the core of her humanity, that she cherishes her characters
just as they are. She renders their lives with a sweet humor that never flinches from the sad truth... Sobule shows a great eye for satire... [but she] lends her tales an extra layer of tenderness through her deadpan vocal delivery. Her Bacharachlike lounge-pop tunes also keep things light. But underneath the froth lies Sobule's need to speak honestly about what it's like to live mainly inside your head." (Underdog Victorious listed as one of the "Magnificent 7 ... terrific recent CDs that
slipped under the mainstream radar")
- Jim Farber, New York Daily News

"Each record [Jill Sobule has] released ... has been better than the last... Her lyrics are always catchy and funny and smart; her hooks and choruses are always finetuned and elusive... There's a truth to her stories; it's impossible to avoid. Not that anyone except a total sourpuss would want to."
- Will Hermes, All Things Considered, National Public Radio

"Jill Sobule shares with her old pal, the late Warren Zevon, a skewed view of the world and a gift for a story well told. But where Zevon was often acerbic, there is a warmth to Sobule's world view... Wise, witty and warm material from a singersongwriter who, alas, has flown under radar too often throughout her career."
- Jeff Wisser, Chicago Sun-Times
