Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 11/08/96, pp.68-69
"...Both his voice and the cut-and-spliced hip-hop production by folk grrrl DiFranco are stiffer than they need to be, but Phillips' didactic monologues possess a sarcastic absurdity that fans of Woody Guthrie and Beck should identify with."
- Rating: B
Musician - 1/97, p.86
"...tapes of him (Phillips) explaining why folk songs are boring, telling stories...philosophizing about the stupidity of greed. DiFranco unobtrusively chopped up the tapes and provided an ambient dub backing. The result grabs you both intellectually and musically..."
