"One thing I learned from this album: Who songs sound great when they're covered by women. Nancy Falkow's sensitive version of "1921", The Glowfriends' beautiful interpretation of "I Can't Explain" and The Contractions' irreverent cover of the already irreverent "My Generation" help to prove that The Who's unique brand of cock rock is for all genders."
"Also very interesting is Nancy Falkow's take on 1921 (a song from Tommy).
Falkow gives a special sweetness in soulful her version, which is enhanced by the simple guitar-piano-bass-drums arrangement that never goes overpowers her vocal."

Nancy Falkow’s presentation of “1921” is one of this collection’s shining moments.
"1921" takes on a brand new life in the hands of Nancy Falkow. Falkow's version actually sparked my interest in going back to check out the original again.
But it's the opening track from Nancy Falkow, "Only Foolin'" — a sort of Rachel Sweet meets Mary Chapin Carpenter emotive, pop-energized folk offering (featuring Philly studio cat Chuck Treece on lead guitar, bass and drums) — that gleams with future stardom.
"Nancy Falkow's backing vocals brighten the brilliant "Did You Come By Your Bitterness Honestly."
"If honey sliding down tree bark had a sound, it would be Nancy Falkow's voice. Smooth and yet a little gritty, this Diva sings the lyrics to her pop/folk songs with gliding soul and strong emotion."
"Nancy Falkow has big shoes to fill. Starting Monday with a gig at TLA, the local singer will venture out for an East Coast tour with artist/producer Daniel Lanois, re-creating the harmony parts first done up on his haunting new "Shine" album by the likes of Emmylou Harris and Bono.
Philadelphia's most skillful folk-pop singer/songwriter, the lustrous-voiced Falkow has enjoyed some good exposure before - from a stint at Lilith Fair to a recent appearance on the Philly episode of the VH1 series "Born To Diva" to backing gigs on recordings by Astrud Gilberto, G.Love, Wood and Patti LaBelle."

"Her effortless leaps and honey dipped vocals are pure enchantment. Expect only the finest from this delightfully seasoned artist."
"You are a good excuse to bring back live recording, Nance, you are *loud*, also soulful and sensitive.I hope you get heard on a larger scale, you have a *classic* voice. That's my humble opinion."
