"What is edgy and soothing, aggressive and sweet, and bluesy and joyful? It's easy to combine these and other seeming contradictions if you are Rachel Cross. Other words that might come to mind when listening to her music are exuberant, celebratory, and diverse."
Evie Ratner, Sundilla Concerts
"Rachel focuses on lyrics that are meant to inspire listeners - inspire them to laugh or dance or to witness the breadth of her imagination."
Mike Joyce, The Washington Post
"Cross growls and purrs a bit like Ani DiFranco through bluesy numbers about subjects like love, respect and laundry."
Michael Hamersly, Miami Herald
"Acoustic guitars,bass, and percussion swirl around Cross's close-up, soulful vocals, creating an intriguing sonic landscape and enjoyable folk-pop synthesis."
RM, Sing OUt Magazine
