"Jay has one of the most distinctive voices in pop music today….demonstrates a uniquely focused and sincere take on what it is to be a singer and a songwriter in the 21st century. His voice and music is at once as endearing, as it is effective in communicating pure, honest emotion!" - Soundlooks Music Journal

"Having a well layered background akin to a large act like Coldplay... incredibly radio friendly and has a very large potential for listener reach. I heard a voice that loves not only theatrical novelty, but spreading happiness as well. A warm and influential record, listening should evoke a high risk of encountering gentle tones, warm vibes, and desire to hit repeat." - HyPursuit

"5 STARS! From the colorfully layered strings on the opening track, “I Need A Change” to the intimate narrative of “I Lived”, a track which Jay describes as, “one of the most personal songs I’ve written,” through to other standouts like, “With Our Love”, “In The Blue”, “Maybe One Day”, “Ghosting” and “Might As Well Sing And Dance Together”, it’s hard to narrow it down to which song is the best, since every song is great in its own way; resulting in a near perfect pop album.." - Video Music Stars

"Jay Jacobson makes a memorable impression... There are classical influences as well as soaring vocals. He has an amazing tenor voice that glides between melodies. All the piano parts are beautifully rendered that they sound magical... uplifting... artfully crafted... You better pick this recording and the rest of his albums because I am sure you will love his kind of music!" - Sphere Music

"Jay Jacobson does an awesome job in the vocals department, hitting such high notes that I could only imagine hitting in my lifetime." - Indigo Indie
