"Like Patty Griffin and Dar Williams, Falkow has an obvious affection for The Beatles and she deftly blends those gorgeous pop strains into her contemporary folk presentation particularly on the disc’s “Stay” and “Under the Sun.”...Falkow’s songs examine love from both sides now, but she definitely impresses with her engaging wordplay and impassioned delivery." — Brian Baker, Amplifier Magazine

"Nancy’s lyrics shine out from her songs, describing feelings dressed in images...Nancy lets it rip with raw emotion pulling at the edges of her voice." — Musician.ie

Clear View named one of the BEST LOCAL RELEASES of 2004 - Philadelphia City Paper

"The CD showcases Falkow’s rock-meets-soul gentle vocal delivery, a breezy ride over smart, crafted arrangements." -- Robin Renee Philadelphia City Paper

"Falkow is writing infectious pop/folk songs with palpable soul."
- Ian Percival of Billboard Magazine

"This grown-up pop-rock concoction plays to Falkow's strengths - her fluid, multi-octave, chameleonlike voice and smart, intriguing lyrics. Arrangements are unusually varied, and the production is always tasteful. The whole thing goes down like butter."
- Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News

"Falkow has matured beyond her attitudey folk mien - as vocalist, lyricist, composer - to forge musics ripe with finicky sensuous soul and moody majesty that still manages to feel prickly and unwound. Produced by Shane McMartin, Smitten feels like it was borne between 1968 and 1971, the time of Tapestry and "Eli's Coming" where folk, jazz and R&B blended like cream into cognac, like clouds into coffee."
- a.d. amorosi, Philadelphia City Paper

"With a voice like an angel and a gift for writing sweet songs, her music is breezy adult contemporary rock with clever hooks. If you like 10,000 Maniacs, Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris or Sam Philips, you'll enjoy Falkow's album."
- Cheryl Squadrito, Courier Post

"Falkow's best songs, especially her simple, straightforward and heartfelt declarations of love stand up to the best of those other Lilith Ladies."
- Barry Gutman, Philadelphia Weekly

"Nancy Falkow's Smitten is well worth seeking out. She's got her folk-pop vocal technique down. This is something in the same league as Sheryl Crow and Lucinda Williams. Another plus is the mandolin playing of her bandmate Stave Margulis. He lends a strong bluegrass flavor to "Atom Bomb," ala the early Grateful Dead."
-Thomas Schulte via www.womanrock.com

"Each song on Smitten has its own personality and story to tell. On some tracks, just Falkow's voice carries the song, while the story woven on others is infectious."

1. Killing Time
2. Invisible
3. One Way Conversation
4. Your Affair
5. In An Afternoon
This 5 song eponymous debut E.P. was released in 1997. 4 of the 5 tunes were recorded & mixed live in an afternoon.


"The tracks have a striking immediacy that perfectly highlights the raw emotion of Falkow's keening vocals. The disc nicely showcases her unique brand of folk pop."
— Ramsay Pennypacker, Philadelphia Weekly

"Killing Time" ambles along in a way that suggests various '70's singer songwriters, but manages not to be derivative. 'Invisible,' co-written with Bachelor Number One's Scot Sax, off sets rave-up guitar strum with a breezy flower-power melody. The five songs on this debut CD have an intimate presence that makes you feel like you're hanging out at a café taking in the tunes. Pardon me while I freshen up my Mochaccino."
— Neil Gladstone, Philadelphia City Paper
