"Matthew Santos a superstar in his own right" - Chicago Sun-Times

"The acoustic, folk-pop fare is a far cry stylistically from what Santos contributed to many tracks on Fiasco's latest album, "The Cool." However, the soulful underpinnings of his voice are what remain consistent, containing a versatility suitable for his singer/songwriter styling as well as R&B." -Billboard Magazine

"Blessed with a gorgeous voice introduced to the world at large on Lupe Fiasco's 'American Terrorist' and 'Superstar', this Columbia College grad is slowly but surely garnering attention for his own stripped-down folk-rock, as heard on last year's 'Matters of the Bittersweet' album." -Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
