"These sleepy balladeers blend the sounds of their mentors -- from dusty hints of the Eagles to fresh reminders of the Format -- on their full-length debut, Live And Learn. Sounding equally contemporary as they are retro, the Greensboro, NC sextet have created a Southern rock speakeasy mantlepiece that holds up intricately orchestrated layers of guitar and sweeping piano bits. House of Fools remain pop-friendly with soothing innovative tunes like "Better Part Of Me" and "Blaming You" (featuring Rami Jafee of the Wallflowers on accordion and organ), and with the aid of Walt Vincent's (Pete Yorn, The Format) pro production." - CMJ
"Rhythmically solid collectivity and well orchestrated country-influenced pop cadence flow through all fourteen tracks exceptionally... Live and Learn is gorgeous... The perfect soundtrack to warm Southern days, so graciously peppered with hints of The Beatles and The Format..." - AbsolutePunk.net
"The tracks flow between Tom Petty-esque alt-country, straight up rock, and harmony driven pop in a Beach Boys vein." - DecoyMusic.com
