"While the band is known for its hard-edged, driving approach, there are also plenty of melodic moments in its songs. Crowd favorite "Vermont" has guitars that stutter, grind
and buzz like Franz Ferdinand meets Fugazi, with Cicchetti's beautifully sung vocal providing a pleasant contrast"
- Detroit Free Press
"Millions of Brazilians is most area musicians' favorite discovery of 2008. Just when you think "the scene" is regurgitating itself, a band like Millions of Brazilians pops up
and gets your heart a-pumpin' again. Sheer pop rock awesomeness." - PJ's Lager
"Tucked into their set they keep 4 or 5 worthy A-side singles and when they bring them out it's so much better than what most people are doing that it absolutely floors me.
Vermont is still the best new song I've heard locally this year, and I truly believe this band is going to do some great things coming up." - Fivethreedialtone.com
“Vermont."That song’s a hit. In fact, everything I heard from them was outstanding. Rock music you can dance to — what a concept." - webvomit.com
"Millions of Brazilians have turned a lot of ears and gained an impressively steady following for a band that has been around for less than a year. They play with the swagger of
libertines, but tempered by the blue-collar guts and honesty that Detroit is known for." - Cityfest
"That is the worst shit I've ever heard!" - overheard after a Lager House performance
