"On their self-titled album, released this year, frontman Tom Beecham channels early Paul McCartney, especially on up-tempo songs like "Unlucky in Love" and "Better Days," floating harmonies over toe-tapping guitar licks, thumping stand-up basslines, and the occasional violin and trumpet."
- Hollis Wong-Wear, Seattle Weekly

"The album is supremely solid, chock full of structurally taut pop frameworks supporting the soaring, direct vocals of singer Tom Beecham and the absurdly swift wranglings of guitarist Calvin Havnaer."
- Tyson Lynn, Seattle P.I.

"The Raggedy Anns are a mezcle of rock, blues, and world-beat. Lead vocalist Tom Beecham has a little bit of a Colin Meloy feel to his voice, which makes the music all the more intriguing. Add to this a bit of surf rock, and you have a head scratching, foot thumping good time."
- Imaginary mimi, Three Imaginary Girls.

"Bearing a retro hip look and dirty boy charm, The Raggedy Anns have quite the following. Their debut, self-titled album was just released last month. With their sea-shanty, 60’s pop blend, The Raggedy Anns are making a name for themselves."
- Seattle Show Gal, Brittany Schank.

"One of my favorite new bands in Seattle, The Raggedy Anns are a tight outfit-skinny jeans and buttoned shirt-that rock stages with their unusually catchy marriage of anachronistic blues forms to clear-eyed populism."
- Tyson Lynn, Seattle P.I.

"The boys draw from old time gypsy jazz influences like Django Reinhardt but carry themselves with a sweeping feeling reminiscent of The Kinks."
- Chantal Anderson, Seattle Weekly.
