"Bouncy, beautiful, and acoustically driven, Fishing For Comets is a worthwhile effort and listen".-Jake Nuckolls, cdreviews.com
"What's wrong with a little happiness? Nothing—at least according to Fishing for Comets, with their sweet, unapologetic melodies, acousto-jangle and occasional accordion forays. When singer Camile Cortinas sings, "It's just so cute/Watching the waitress/Get swept off her feet" in her happy-go-lucky voice, you don't mind a bit. With pop this coy and catchy, you can throw away your Zoloft".Jonanna Widner- Dallas Observer
"Although super-positive girlie pop usually makes us want to run and hide, it's not hard to like Dallas band Fishing for Comets. Camille Cortinas is one of few people who can pull off hap-hap-happy lyrics. Why? Because we believe her".-Hunter Hauk- Quick Magazine
"The sweet, melodic sounds of Fishing For Comets could be therapy for the sad, or medicine for the downhearted. If the good vibes emitting from this acoustic-rock group could be bottled, it would surely be the cure for something".- Wayne Ansell, Harder Beat
"This band is sheer excellence, so bookem, buy their music, go seeem live Youll thank me in the morning".-Cindy Chaffin, The Fine Line
"Listening to Fishing for Comets, youll wonder where these songs have been your entire life".-Michael Ramirez, freelance writer/ Flagpole Magazine Athens, GA
