“NO CIGAR Consider Fine Line Between Love and Fear on ‘The Great Escape’’ - Rolling Stone

“I would recommend anyone with a vested interest in enjoying life to give NO CIGAR a listen” – Ambient Light

“Willy Ferrier, on main vocals, had an emotionality to his voice that was expressive and unique to find within the mix of an indie-pop band”. – 13th Floor
