"I love the record, It's very energetic and it makes me feel good which is the point, and I like that you guys don't have a gimmick, you're just a great rock band amongst heavy hitters!"
- Ryan Manno Q101 (101.1 fm in Chicago)
"This band has it all...crunchy guitars, great percussion, and incredible vocals. Dearborn is absolutely fantastic! You're gonna love them"
- Richard Milne WXRT 93.1 Chicago

"Dearborn seems primed for major label attention; the group plays well-executed, alternarock that would fit easily on commercial radio."
- The Onion : AV Review
"Want to see a great rock band and dance your ass off? Then go see Dearborn, a rock and roll quartet from Chicago that knows how to blend killer riffs and catchy melodies with funky dance beats and flat-out grooves. This isn't emo, this isn't metal, this isn't prog. This is straight-up rock, and it's not to be missed."
- Jambase : Chris Newton
"Prepare To Qualify is bold on gritty jazz, funk and rock, along with a crisp fusion of hooks and beats. Dearborn's foundation is muscular and ready to burst."
- Glide Magazine : Shane Handler
"Dearborn has become "the buzz" as Chicago's hottest rock band, building in popularity by word of mouth of their explosive, passionate and emotionally honest live performances that has fostered an ever-growing fan base, and gained respect from notable established artists."
- Daily Isthmus :: Madison, WI
