"I LOVE IT..! I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT... THE CONTENT IS MEANINGFUL.. FUN... SERIOUS AND INTERESTING... REMINDS ME OF REVOLVER.. WITHOUT BEING TOO CLICHE... WHAT MORE CAN YOU SQUEEZE OUT OF WHAT YOU HAVE RECORDED..?"
Brandon Bost(GRAMMY-NOMINATED PRODUCER WHO'S WORKED WITH ST.VINCENT, MARK RONSON, LADY GAGA, MILEY CYRUS, NORAH JONES.)

"I'M KILLIN 'EM... A COMIC'S OPERA defies categories.. did Hoffman write.... a concept album.. an opera... musical theater... performance piece? There are classical harmonies.. rock rhythms... acoustic and digital orchestrations.. the dissonant music and the story(sexual abuse) are perfect parallels to each other... Disturbing piece without a comparison that could work on Broadway.. a large rock or performance space.. or even the Metropolitan Opera."
Will Friedwald(MUSIC CRITIC AND GRAMMY-NOMINATED WRITER... WALL STREET JOURNAL... VILLAGE VOICE….. VANITY FAIR) 

"JOLTING... UNIQUE..... TOTALLY ORIGINAL.... COULD BE A GREAT CONCEPT ALBUM"
