"Gentleman Auction House put out one of the great records of 2008 with their debut full length, Alphabet Graveyard, and as if that wasn’t enough, they have also put together the excellent 6 song Christmas In Love EP for your Holiday enjoyment. If you like ["On The Rooftop"], you’ll definitely want to pick it up, the rest of it is just as good. The pefect stocking stuffer."
- Tom @ bagofsongs.com
"...This record has quickly become one of my favorite releases of the year."
- shiv @ The Futurist; WOXY.com
"Alphabet Graveyard is a patchwork of adventurous songs, each searching for a distinct persona, and all threaded together with brilliantly catchy choruses.
- Lauren Pezzullo; Amplifier Magazine
"Get ready to play 'The Book of Matches' on repeat for the rest of the day. Or rather, resist that cause if you think this song is as totally bad ass as it can get, wait til they add bloody horns on 'We Used To Dream About Bridges.' ...if [Alphabet Graveyard] isn't the most jubilant record to tickle your ears all summer, I'm a goddamned monkey's uncle."
- Christen Thomas; rcrdlbl.com
"When the mirror ball lights are spinning across the neighborhood and people are dancing in the broken light as if they were in a club, though with less ecstatic faces, just surveying what they’ve gotten themselves into and what they want out of the charade, that’s when we’re there, right where the Gentleman Auction House wants us."
- daytrotter.com
"Coupling male-female vocals with intense percussion and layers of chamber pop and folk, Gentleman Auction House has created a sound unlike any other band at the moment... Hardly an appetizer, Book of Matches is chock full of enthralling harmonies and delivers near-infinite depth of sound. Its lyrics are interesting to analyze, and yet also fun to belt out in the privacy of your home. And that is quite a line to balance, indeed. Most bands stand staunchly on one particular side. Gentleman Auction House isn’t most bands. And Book of Matches isn’t an ordinary EP. It is, quite simply, stunning."
