"Jim Shelley belongs in the lo-fi pantheon. A handful of lost souls worship this guy." -- Alternative Press
"Comparisons are an insult. The man is an original. One of America's great 'unknown' songsmiths. Shelley's music is raw, desperate, incisive and unsparing; if Dylan grew up a punk, listening to Iggy Pop instead of Woody Guthrie, he'd write tunes like 'Idiot Planet.'" -- DemoUniverse
"So much more real than most of the doo doo being squat out by record companies. This is, perhaps, because the idea isn't to sell product...but to produce truly quality music with integrity." -- BabySue Magazine
"I don't know of another more passionate singer/songwriter in rock music today." -- In The Underground
"Shelley delivers the goods one song after another." -- Gajoob
"Jim Shelley is one of America's greatest songwriters." -- Jim Santo
