"Dry of humour and lo-fi of sound,the skewed pop of Colchester's Snippet is reminiscent of early Beck"-Q Magazine
"This something very special,so odd and so delightful,what I particularly love about his work is that he combines an exquisite traditional pop sensibility that all his songs are insanely catchy so he writes great pop hooks but he is working from home within a Do It Yourself ethic,rather than trying to do the high road to big backing ,he is making the music he loves,all his songs have that skewed and peculiar thing about them,I wish more people knew about him,spread the word,you'll enjoy it and you won't regret it"- Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music
"Made us laugh a lot,touched a nerve,we love it"-Rob da Bank BBC Radio 1
"Mysterious and haunting,hopefully there will be more to come soon".-Properlychilled.com
"Unassuming, entertaining and clever tracks from Snippet"-The Architectural Dance Society
"Snippet’s music you say? The music?? Oh yeah…brilliant. Charming English folk pop, with great humour and melody"-Radio Caroline TV
"The opening track “I love your t-shirt” is a super catchy and well produced little song, with lots of fun studio-added elements, funky rhythms … “Just a man” continues the fantastic catchyness, and like the opener, the lyrics show Snippet’s sense for seeing things from unusual and humourous angles....
"Lovely ugly people" charmed us before, and it still does... the whole ep sounds especially good at times like these"-Eardrums music
"There's something about the left field that the English do really well...a songwriter who can write a whole novel about what he reads between the line and manages to nail the whole thing."- Fatea Magazine
"Excellent" - Sparky@Shock Pop
"It’s a sweet piece of oddball pop,with a little edge to make it memorable"-Russell's Reviews
"You are such a clever boy"- My Mum
