"A sound that’s likely to make most would-be ska bands nervously upchuck their breakfasts...sonically charged ska-punk brilliancy...as strong as a heroine kick. Have Nots actually do the genre some justice and come out sounding fresh and new." -Punknews.org April 2009
“Upstroke crazy verses, triumphantly downtrodden choruses, and perky lead-geet bits get the kids two-steppin…If you like Operation Ivy, you’ll like this. And if you don’t like Operation Ivy, well, shit man, what’s wrong with you?” -The Boston Phoenix Jan 2009
"Have Nots have created one of the best local punk releases of the last several years. Purposeful and passionate, righteous yet nuanced and sometimes poetic...Songs like “Poisoned Antidote” and “SBC” are so catchy that I have actually found myself waking up in the middle of the night singing them...This is the type of album that gets a band headliner status really quickly." (Kevin Finn) -The Noise March 2009
“Boston's Have Nots find the perfect blend of punk and ska riffs…While it's a bit early to be calling it, I get the feeling this will be on my top 10 of 2009.” -Midwesternhousewives.blogspot.com Feb 2009
“A rock solid mix of gruff alleyway punk that hasn't been done this well since Rancid reinvented it on Let's Go.” -The Boston Phoenix Dec 2008
“Just the right mix of aggression and melody…I forsee big things for this band in the future.” -TheTruthCanBeBrutal.com Dec 2008
“Have Nots are one of the best ska-punk acts in the scene today…equal parts blistering intensity and fun, danceable melodies…A band that will surely blow up.” -ThePunkSite.com Feb 2009
"Have Nots would be at risk of being a novelty act, another ska/hardcore/kinda Clash band. That is, if they weren’t so Goddamn talented.
Their lyrics are deep and complex, eschewing accessibility for true punk philosophy; the hooks are nonstop; the lyrics are spat in spoken shouts; and the drumming is simply phenomenal." -BerkeleyPlaceBlog.com Feb 2009
"This band rules...The songs are super catchy, the recording quality is good, and no chord or drum hit is misplaced...an extremely well-done record." -BrandNewBeatniks.Blogspot.com March 2009
“The band is more than a pretty face. It is a combination of style and talent.” -Monsterugly.com
"very generic, very boring. every song sounds like a shitty rancid song."

"You guys are like every other mainstream blink 182 kinda band, u suck!"
