"Nolan has a voice that teeters and totters and expresses earnestly the heart of his songs. With a fragile, yet comfortable stage presence, Nolan draws you into his world and filters out the negativity allowing a spirited optimism to spew forth. Breathe it in because it's a wonderful and uplifting thing. Music that leaves a warmth in your soul, a tap in your toes, and a comfort in your head (knowing someone can make sense of this crazy world for at least a few minutes)." - Jeff Blinder, The Spazzatorium Galleria
"Truth be told, this collection [Ran Merrily After] of demos, ideas, and lovelies showcases more than a year of recording experimentation and learning, all made completely from scratch. What has resulted is a sheer masterpiece of bedroom recording - masterful lyricism and sickeningly genius songwriting... These moments are magical, beautiful, sensual snippets of our lives looked at from between the cracks. They are kaleidoscopes in summer, snowball fights in winter, and nuclear bomb blasts in the spring." - Randy Cochran, Beatnik Vending Machine
"The Charming Youngsters put on the most frenetic show I've ever seen. I have no idea what it is, but I can't escape feeling like they're what the Foo Fighters should have been. Twice as fun, thrice as witty... an absolutely real band and not something grown in a vat somewhere. They have all the snap, they're funny without spilling into cheese territory, and they FUCKING ROCK." - Corbie Hill, Battle Rockets/Where the Buffalo Roamed
