"What's best about Sunshine for the Blind's hooky rock thing "See the River Rise," from their new album of the same name? Well, the big guitars mine the '70s without being stuck in them. The insistent, booty-addling back beat never lets up. Singer/producer/six-string wielder Brian Daly's pert, to-the-point vocal performance pumps the existential lyric with equal measures of defiance and dread. And while the bang-your-head-wake-the-dead quotient is way up there, no one would ever confuse Daly's crew with a metal band. Guess that's another way of saying it's an essential iPod track for those about to rock."
AV Club, The Onion-
"Daly, known in the scene for his board work at DNA Studios, also recorded and produced the album, rendering a sound that's crisp, clean, and straight-to-the-point, which is also how the band sounds live."
Kiki Schueler, CD Review-
"Sunshine for the Blind is going to make me rewrite my 'Best of 2006' list.'"
Mike Huberty, Maximum Ink-
"See The River Rise is an accomplished culmination of the Madison trio's dedication to hook-laden guitar rock that effortlessly moves betweeen it's new-wave, power-pop, alternative, and indie influences."
Kiki Schueler, Rick's Cafe-
"SFtB play insistent, instantly likeable rock with roots in the Beatles' Revolver album...regardless of how intense the songs got, they stopped with remarkable precision."
Tom Laskin, The Isthmus-
"[Daly] writes songs so catchy they burn into your memory bank!"
