"The DC stalwarts came onstage, and from the first note lead singer Blue S. Moon hit, the crowd settled in awestruck at the raw punk power and well honed grooves of the trio.... These three women sounded absolutely massive and desiring of world domination by the end of the set, and created plentiful new fans by the end of the evening. The Couch Sessions
"These young ladies have more than enough style, grace and musical talent to make even the most ill-tempered curmudgeon get up and dance. These girls are taking DC by storm and bringing their own brand of funky pop rock to the stage... you don’t want to miss this trio of fun. It’s never a bad time to check out noon:30…" District of Sound
"It’s about bloody time we got a band like noon:30…all rhythm and paranoia and lots of yelping. Second Track “French Song” (sang in French in an American accent) is just beautiful and perfect. Can’t wait to see what they do next. " To Hell With Good Intentions
"...the album sounds as confident as it does uncalculated. Singer Blue S. Moon... can snarl like a punk ("French Song") and she can power through a dead-serious melody ("Absynthe"). At times her voice has some of Kathleen Hanna's sass and a hint of Kim Gordon's deadpan as well...When the band does make a noise on And So It Is, it's a simple noise. Its provenance might be relatively easy to discern, but its energy is pretty damn raw." Decider DC
""Orphane," which drops yearning, quasi-devotional vocals over a pounding, post-punk rhythm section. “So don’t leave me baby/I have no mother,” sings vocalist/bassist Blue S. Moon while drummer Vivianne A. Njoku and guitarist Aissa Arroyo-Hill put down a solid bed of propulsive beats and droney guitar. It sounds like Pylon dropping in to lead an energetic church service."
