Two Shots of Rye is like the pop-rock you thought doesn't (or rather, can't) exist anymore. They are the new incarnation of bands you equated with a life full of possibilities. You're probably too jaded to believe such things, but "Eight-Nineteen" is a summer smash. - absolutepunk.net

Two Shots Of Rye surely deserve every pair of ears that are lucky enough to hear them. This is one band that deserves to be pulled from the vacuum that is the rock and roll microcosm and exposed to the masses. It's sunny and strummy and everything you could hope to hear this summer and, really, the rest of the year. Tell your friends, tell your parents, your neighbors and everyone else you know about this band. - thedailychorus.com

The band has solid vocals combined with a strong, developed musical style. I was hooked within the first minute of the record and it was able keep my attention through the entire thing. Bottom line, this is a band and album you should seek out. - thealbumproject.net

Hooks On Tape is energetic and charming, and Two Shots Of Rye succeed in not only creating an album that is enjoyable, but one that goes along with the summer weather perfectly. - forthesound.com
