"The musical theater major combines her classical training with plenty of pop sensibilties, creating a sound like no other in music and drawing fans from almost any genre...Another potential gem from the depths of Myspace Music."
-Alan Ho, Musiqtone.com
"Ashley Wool has a voice like a diva, the soul of a punk rocker... But no, you can't just put her in a box like that. There are elements of funk and heavy rock and roll in her music, too, coy hints of Ani DiFranco and Alanis Morrisette...plus maybe even an ironic echo going back to Captain Beefheart or Frank Zappa. And through it all, there is that voice, theater trained and yet hell-bent to rock out and have fun, like a more rocking Kelly Clarkson. Not that Ashley is interested in winning American Idol."
-BLAMF!
"Ashley Wool comes across as being very assertive and forthright, which is a great thing when releasing independent music. She is one of the many good discoveries for 2007 and her seven-track debut CD “Not Otherwise Specified” showcases a powerful voice amid songs of various structures and moods - flavours of pop, rock and jazz are evident. You can expect the unexpected in some ways, and it's refreshing to see someone so young demonstrating enough talent to suggest that she is on the verge of something more substantial. That will hopefully come soon when, with additional resources for production purposes, Ashley could conjure up some exciting music. In the meantime, I suggest you have a listen to her vocal capabilities and witty, mature storytelling."
