“Luminous, talented and likable.” -The Detroit News
|
“Sobule crafts smart, neoclassic pop with a middle child's talent for attention-getting.” –Entertainment Weekly

|
“A great songwriter with songwriting skills that transcend her one-novelty-hit wonder status.” -Village Voice
|
“Witty & clever.” -Vanity Fair
|
“It's not surprising that Sobule's music is admired by musicians as diverse as Don Henley (for whom she opened), Lloyd Cole (whose band The Negatives she was a member of), Warren Zevon, and The Go Go's Jane Weidlin ... One of the '90s more interesting, accomplished, and regrettably little-known singer/songwriters.” –All Music Guide |
“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 the warmest, funniest songwriters out there.” -PopMatters
|
| “Sobule is 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
|
| “One can only hope that ... Sobule will reap the artistic and commercial recognition she deserves... On songs that act as many self-contained vignettes, she captures life's little miseries and epiphanies with economy and understated humor.” –Amazon.com
|
“Remarkable.” -Time Out New York
