"This guy believes in his song." (Five out of five rating.)
- Paul Ford, Morning News (Editor at Harper's Magazine and commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered".)

"What shines through live, though is his songwriting and voiceÉ.a world weary tinge in his otherwise clear voice that pushes through the emotion of his work without slipping into pathos. Love or rather, the loss of love shows up a lot on Koons' work; there's a palpable sense of longing in his songsÉ.Koons senses, with the skill of a practiced pro, that beyond Top 40, the key is to paint emotional portraits to explain the state of love and a bone deep longing in a fractured world."

"I got some great tracks from pillaging the SXSW list of six word reviewsÉ..highlight of highlights was probably this alt-country chap Greg Koons."
- Sean Murphy, View From Here, Brisbane Australia

"The debut record by Greg Koons has been produced by Matt Keating. It does not arrive until the fall but I have been a big fan of Matt's so immediately gave this youngster the benefit of the doubt based on just this one song. Los Angeles Looks Prettier on TV has that rare element of a catchy chorus combined with plenty of expository details."
