"Quinn is a word-sorcerer -- part travelling minstrel, part love child and part guerilla warrior..who composes love songs of rebellion ... absolutely definitive, blunt, biting and brutal social statements. It seems a brilliant, although divinely uncalculated, ploy to use the love song as a vehicle for social condemnation...the expansion of the personal and political to the spiritual..."

"Some of the most heartwarming music I've ever heard in a club...A remarkable variation on Dylan's Blonde on Blonde era."

L.A. Weekly

"Dylanesque, sometimes surreal rock from an outfit with no attitude...Ted sings 'em with feeling and quite a few tunes are pleasantly sweet and heartfelt."
