"Naming their album "Frampton Comes Alive" scores a few big points in my book (like a gazillion). Their sound, while not dated, garners comparisons to 90's alternative bands like Dinosaur Jr., Catherine Wheel, and of course The Replacements’ shimmering pop punk sound. Goodbye Sluggo has done what most bands try for, but sometimes lose sight of: They've written a record about love, loss, and all the stuff (funny and sad) that happens in-between. They created something of quality that will withstand the test of time, rather than some whinny burst of emotion that will disappear after a few months when the next "it" band does the same thing under a different name. Buy the record, see the band." - Phil Rainone of Jersey Beat Fanzine
"Although they hail from Massachusetts, high school chums Goodbye Sluggo sound like a band that I, a Pennsylvanian, would have loved to have grown up with. See, to me, the band strikes a balance between The Loved Ones and Atom and His Package. Maybe it’s the mix of power chords and synthesizers, or gravelly and nasally vocals. Or maybe it’s because, like The Loved Ones and good ol’ Adam Goren, Goodbye Sluggo is pretty gosh darn good.
I hate it when music reviewers say an album shows promise, as it often sounds like a backhanded compliment, but gosh dang if Goodbye Sluggo doesn’t have my attention. Here’s hoping they stick around long enough to melt my face live and maybe even drop a full-length or two." - Joe Pelone of Picasso Blue and Punknews.org (For the full review check out: http://picassoblueyo.blogspot.com/)
"They've actually titled their CD, Frampton Comes Alive!... I've gotta give them credit, that takes balls..." - WFNX's New England Product.
"You say hello, we say Goodbye Sluggo..." - The Lowell Sun.
