~ Sing Out! Magazine: “...These guys are well versed in the repertoire, but even more important, they deliver it with fresh abandon. They don’t sound like they’re scared to make a mistake, which is an even greater homage to the old songs. ...Terrific packaging and liner notes, with brief historical sources on each song and banjo tunings. A highly engaging selection, well played.”
~ Trad Magazine: "... Certainly one of the best current CDs of old-time music.”
~ Maverick Magazine: "Fast-paced picking carried off in such a confident and prolific way that simply leaves you gob smacked... A highly recommended album which I strongly urge you to try and track down."
~ Times Ain't Like They Used to Be: "... An elegant and tasty packaging along with some fine liner notes (the source and tunings are provided for each track) to boot makes this cd a must-have for every fan of authentic and deep appalachian old-time music."
~ Rambles.Net: "... Their music is bright, vivid and lovely. If you find yourself nodding off through Sleep, see your doctor.”
~ Old Woodchuck: "... the old tunes played with the fire and enthusiasm they really deserve but seldom get these days..."

~ Sing Out!: "...Hunter Robertson is a highly talented traditional musician. Sings Songs for the Masses is as strong a solo CD as I’ve heard in quite some time."
~ Rambles.Net: "...Songs for the Masses is for neither the masses nor the timid. But if you're up for a walk through the lonesome valley that stretches across the moonless landscape of the old, weird America, Robertson will show you the way."
~ Trad Magazine: "...I consider this to be one of the best CDs I've heard recently."
~ County Sales: "If you like Old-time banjo picking and you’re in the market for something different, you might try this unusual CD. But be forewarned: it ranges from the sublime to the bizarre: “songs for the masses” it definitely ain’t..."
~ Musical Traditions: "All of the playing is pretty quirky - and extremely interesting..."
~ Low Down Nick: “I like your tunes very much... I won't say they're "the real stuff", 'cause this is a quite ungrounded cliché. It's that mixture of rawness and tenderness and the feeling that you love on different levels whatever you are engaged in when playing.”
~ Sepiachord: "...And it does sound vital. This isn't some stodgy, dusty recreation of old-time field recordings..."
