"Randy Kaplan does amazing James Taylor–meets-banjo covers of Nirvana… and Grandmaster Flash… Nuff said; go check this guy out."
-TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Kaplan makes us smile as he points out hypocrisy… (He crafts) exceptionally tender songs (and) pens understated tunes that, the more we hear them, eventually evolve into anthems."
-NEWSDAY

"Kaplan mixes… social commentary with more personal observation… bloody good music, pure and simple… the real deal!”
-TOXIC PETE

"(Kaplan's) lyrics don't underestimate their listener's intelligence, being literate and occasionally not a little highbrow… (He) is a craftsman in the tradition of Paul Simon.”
-AMERICANA-UK

"Randy's literary yet accessible songs capture ambivalence and investigate the inner lives of human beings in the tradition of Leonard Cohen or Stephen Sondheim."
-KRISELEN

"The stories (Randy) sings wind and twist away from the ordinary and toward refreshing new ideas often humorous and bizarre… never predictable."
-THE INDEPENDENT

"Kaplan sings of modern romance, male neuroses, and quirky character studies with the off-kilter viewpoint of a man who appreciates the blurred edges as much as the finer points… (His) self-effacing lyrics make you laugh, cry and blush at their honest simplicity."
-THE BOTTOM LINE

"(Kaplan's) songs display keen psychological insight… His emotional range is broad, running the gamut from uplifting to bleak."
-THE MATTRESS

"Recurrent in (Kaplan's) songs is his flashing sense of humor, a humor which is skillfully married to a bitter sense of reality... Of course it is comical. But it is also far more: it is tragic and at the same time, comes from a wisdom, a knowledge of the falsity at the heart of many human endeavors."
-KONTRAST RADIO

"It's easy to fall hopelessly in love with Randy Kaplan's music."
