"Add Jay Leonhart to the small, very exclusive list of jazz humorists...in the upper echelon of a group that includes Oscar Brown Jr., Dave Frishberg and Bob Dorough."

– Don Heckman, LA Times

"Leonhart is the Fred Astaire of jazz a craftsman so seamlessly smooth that casual observers often fail to grasp the immensity of his talent." 

– Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

"If Mr. Leonhart belongs to a breed of serious comic songwriter whose marquee names include Tom Lehrer, Dave Frishberg and Loudon Wainwright III, his satirical observations have a softer bite."

– Stephen Holden, New York Times
