Here are some nice things people have been saying about Billy Kelly's music. And by "saying" we mean "typing", although we can't prove that they didn't also say these things out loud.

 Praise for "The Family Garden"

“The Basement Tapes for an audience of kindergartners.”
— Popdose

“This upbeat, hoot of an album with its outstanding performances and unique lyrics and concepts will be welcome in children’s music collections.”
— School Library Journal  (Starred Review)

“Kids will definitely cotton on to this nimble and amusing CD.”
— Booklist

“... an alluring pastiche of Americana, ragtime, & B-52s”
— Jeff Bogle, Out With the Kids 

"Definitely recommended."
— Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble

Praise for "Is This Some Kind of Joke?"

"There isn't another soul alive making music for children quite like Billy Kelly. And that is not some kind of joke."
— Jeff Bogle, Out With the Kids

"The Legend of Johnny Box ... one of those songs that starts out unassumingly, builds up to something big, then somewhere east of Poughkeepsie takes a turn into something silly, then epically silly, then beyond silly into that realm few people are willing to go. Let's put it this way ... it's more than seven and a half minutes long, and it's worth every second. No joke — this is a seriously fun album. Highly recommended."
— Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble.com

Praise for "Thank You for Joining The Happy Club"

 
"... An endearingly oddball sense of humor."
— All Things Considered, NPR 

"Hilarious"
— TimeOut New York Kids, Best Children's CDs of 2009 (#2)

"Totally winning in its goofiness ... there are going to be some families who absolutely love love love this disk."
— Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble.com

"A 1-2-3 punch of catchy tunes, witty lyrics, and songs that are fun for the whole family ... This one easily lands on the list of best kids' music of 2009."
—About.com, Best Kids Music of 2009 (#3)

"... a School-House-Rock feel that's super fun ... vast appeal for kids and adults alike."
— Common Sense Media

"Imagine if Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld wrote lyrics for all-ages music played by an acoustic Weezer. I cannot recall a funnier, more intelligently conceived debut family record. Don't deliberate or discuss with a loved one. Just get it and love it."
— Jeff Bogle, Out With the Kids 

"A blockbuster! Clever, fun, great pop melodies, hooks & humor. This CD is on my Top 10 for 2009!"
— kids music rock star Yosi Levin, on his blog Indie Kids Rock

"A super set of indie rock songs for kids ... Breezy, slyly humorous tunes ... Super duper children's music debut!"
— Warren Truitt, Kids Music That Rocks
