  "A pretty darn cool reggae-alternative-and-anything-else-you-can-think-of band." -- Jeff Napier, NUVO

"Imagine Was (Not Was) setting up shop in Jamaica, or Supertramp with a margarita intravenous, and you can just about picture the Indianapolis Band DOG TALK. (They ) can be nigh irresistible on stage" -- Steve Hall, The Indianapolis Star

"DOG TALK displayed the kind of showmanship and, more importantly, songs that warrant label attention." -- Jeff Napier, NUVO

"What's coolest about DOG TALK is the fact that it dares to look out outside the continental United States for sources while still making music that appeals to mid-western Americans for times when you need to shake things up with clever rhythms and fun tunes, this is the disc." -- Mike Redmond, CD REVIEW, The Indianapolis News

"Cheery World Beat, extremely well played." -- Bloomington Voice

"To listen to DOG TALK is to step into the eye of a percussive hurricane, a whirlwind of exotic sounds." -- George Fish, NUVO

"It is impossible to listen and not fall into the sea of positivity." -- Village Vine

"...as we put together the ballots for NUVO'S annual Best Of Indy Poll, our inquiring minds wanted to know: What is the ultimate Best of anything about Indianapolis - the one fantastic anyone or anything that's better here than anywhere else in the world? There were votes for places to eat, and things to hear the Indianapolis Symphony and DOG TALK, for example." -- Harrison Ullmann, Editor, NUVO September 28, 1995
