“This is A-class indie pop!” - PerezHilton.com
“Elizabeth Ziman’s voice brims with a fresh confidence against punchy drums and jazzy guitar riffs on the debut album.” - Paste
“…her band’s jazzy chamber-pop sound doesn’t feel tethered to any place or time. There’s a drop of Sarah Vaughan and Sara Bareilles in Ziman’s zippy, breezy melodies: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar leads the sassy ‘Momma’s Boy’; the album’s finest moment is a buoyant cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Everybody Knows’.” - Rolling Stone
“In precisely arranged but casually presented tunes like ‘Momma’s Boy’ and ‘Rainiest Day of Summer,’ singer Elizabeth Ziman chews over the anxieties and the excitements of a bright-eyed urbanite, while her bandmates pepper strummy coffeeshop folk with traces of Tin Pan Alley pop.”
- Time Out New York
“The group utilizes elastic rhythms and dark subject matter that gives its songs a slow burn resonance. The sing-a-long swing of ‘Momma’s Boy’ makes it one of the most tuneful kiss-off songs in recent memory. Fans of Feist should be head over heels in no time.” - Spin.com
“’Momma’s Boy’ is a weight title that will prompt savvy listeners to look for more from this budding act, while rewarding outlets that indulge Ziman by breaking type.” - Billboard
“…these three won’t be flying under the radar for long.” - The Village Voice
