"No surprise that there's a lot of talk about this band going around town – and it's all good...." - J. Hahne (Creative Loafing)
"....I would have to put [The Stellas] up there in the top bands of the last couple of years in Charlotte." - Divakar (106.5 WEND)
"....Maybe that’s The Stellas subversive touch, using candy-coated hooks to talk about the disturbing." -Josh Spilker (Bootleg Magazine)
