"I could easily compare Leopold and his Fiction to a vintage wine, a vintage car maybe, but they’re more like a rough piece of aged leather, one that’s been soaked and handled accordingly, reconstituted for a modern-day take. That’s just what they are. A close, almost perfect fit..." —au.hadnews.com

"Where Leopold and His Fiction’s intricacies take a prominent hold on recordings, the trio’s sound merges into an energetic fury when played on the dark stages of the venues they frequent–earning them the status as of one of San Francisco’s most coveted new bands." —Spooonful

"It has become a great music experience to watch them grow and become the wrecking ball that they are today...Without a doubt, Golden Friends is the strongest tune I've heard from Leopold. The dark, brooding track screams and echos like a mashup of The Doors and Wolfmother. Frontman Daniel James' poetic approach to songwriting creates a complex and complicated late-night lament that plays in your head like a movie, showcasing his strength as a songwriter." —Front Porch Musings

"There's soon to be a new addition to (Thom) Monahan's list of endemic masterpieces he's been trusted by Leopold & his Fiction with the task of recording their next full-length. As if Leopold & His Fiction isn't already well-established, seeping rock-hard melody and gritty psychedelia, the band has really upped the ante in anticipation of their third record with new members..." —The Bay Bridged

"The critically lauded, psychedelic-vintage-garage, six-legged rock beast that it is today." —Metromix Detroit

"It's as if the band came straight out of a Woodstock documentary but with a lonesome folksy twang that can place them touring with the Monsters of Folk." —UCLA Campus Circle

"While the sound is certainly expansive, Leopold and His Fiction also manages to exude a certain kind of folk-tinged, backwoods charm that makes them much more than just a straight up rock-and-roll band." --NPR Second Stage
"The ramshackle style and rustic revival stem from parts of America's deep, dark underbelly and together meld into a recipe of rootsy fervor." --Crawdaddy

"Leopold And His Fiction manages these small, amusing feats but more importantly Daniel James is a wicked good songwriter-musician capable of evoking some primo ancestors over the course of this dead solid, warmly wrapped 11-song effort." --Jambase

"Their convergence results in angsty blues-flavored rock 'n roll, that when paired with James' story-inspired lyrics evokes the feel of Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home. " --Relix
