“As a Cliffs Notes of the outré, “Lost in the Grooves” is a stone gas… like a midnight bull session with your inner, ADD-afflicted rock geek.” (Magnet, Jan/Feb 2005)

“Exemplary pop writing. “Lost in the Grooves” is written with such zip, enthusiasm and love of music that you can't help but get sucked in.” (Bob Stanley, The Times of London, 1/28/05)
