"Benson has been a mainstay of the Seattle music scene since the mid-'90s, when he formed the Nevada Bachelors. Since then, he's been carving out a niche for himself, honing his gift for intricately crafted acoustic pop under the name Dear John Letters. This year, he steps out under his own name... " -Seattle Weekly
"Robb Benson has a real gift for alternative pop. It's literate, heartfelt, memorable stuff, and Benson is an onstage bundle of nerves and energy." -Tom Phalen (seattlemagazine.com)
" Often
gentle and wholesome, sometimes acrimonious, Benson's songwriting warmly
refers to the Beatles."
- Corianton Hale (The Stranger)
" Benson spits and talk-sings songs in a cracked, wobbly, trembling voice,
somewhere between the Kinks' Ray Davies, Ian Hunter, and Squeeze's Glenn
Tilbrook ...Benson proves he's one of his generation's most talented..." -
Hal Horowitz (all music guide)
