"Go and see them if you like fascinating harmony, clever presentaion and excellent personality. In other words, GO SEE THEM!"
Robert Edsall, alt.music.a-cappella
"Thank you, Exboyfriends, for contributing greatly to the a cappella continuum your presence is greatly appreciated."

Karaoke Bar Brawl
"The Exboyfriends' album rocks. It screams, it wails, it moves. It tackles a genre that most of the a cappella world is too young to remember or too old to pull off. It's a rare find for a record collection, of any genre. It's radio ready, which puts it in the uppermost tier of the a cappella world. I highly recommend it."
Rebecca Christie, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
"The Exboyfriends are the true defenders of a cappella classic rock. Yes, there's a big difference between covering rock and actually rocking. They know. The Exboyfriends actually rock. Lighters waving, scantily clad girlfriend on your shoulders, funny-cigarette-smell-in-the-air rock."
Jonathan Minkoff, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
"Karaoke Bar Brawl, The Exboyfriends' triumphant sophomore release, begins with a blood-curdling scream and doesn't let up for a moment. I am of the opinion that it's pointless to try to convert people who don't like a cappella into fans. If any disc could do it, though, it would be Karaoke Bar Brawl; it's certainly the only a cappella CD I've ever wanted to crank as I do the classic rock I grew up on."

A Capella's Dead
"When The Exboyfriends got dumped, they must have made a really cool THUMP sound when they hit the floor. It's their style of doing thingswith a big, thick sound..."In the Air Tonight" is pretty much perfect. Dave Curry delivers a ringing solo. The harmonies are stirring. The percussion is deft and moody...The Exboyfriends are on their way to coming becoming a classic group."
Matt Cohen, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
"We are so glad the music on this CD proves the title to be a lie it's innovative and full of great singing and unusual covers...The disc starts with a surreal Beatles/Pink Floyd moment...with a pure Exboyfriends twist. A noteworthy moment on the disc is Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" which stands up well as the one live cut, and the wordless percussion and vocal-guitar jam-esque "Frankenstein"."
Mainely A Cappella
"A Cappella's Dead? You wouldn't know it from this album....If there was one word to sum up this group, it would be "creative"...Solid, interesting arrangements, very well sung, and an incredibly full sound. The Exboyfriends are very strong about creating an ambience in the music that you can absolutely get lost in when you listen to it...This is a solid start to finish album that I don't have to hit skip on at any point, and that's a wonderful thing to find. Thumbs way up on this one."
Shawn Pearce, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
"It's been such a long time since this much passion and dexterity has been combined with raw, honest-to-God talent. Kudos to The Exboyfriends' and their latest album...When it is all said and done, A Cappella's Dead is a must have."
Dan Fisher, L.A. Connection
"This is the classic rock album a cappella has been waiting for. Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Zeppelin covers light up the first two tracks, which are worth the CD by itself...A Cappella's Dead is a strong album with the pizzazz and even the polish to stand up to instrumental music. It'll stand up well in your collection."
Rebecca Christie, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
"What? Uh oh, seven guys from New York with a sense of humor, watch out! Displaying typical exboyfriend tendencies, this contemporary group won't just disappear quietly into ignominy! No, they insist on making the scene, announcing their presence with Led Zeppelin songs like "Ramble On" and, instead of embarrassing themselves, end up sounding kind of, well, really good. These Exboyfriends can't quite stop being adorable."
Primarily A Cappella
"Strong soloists, boundless energy, creative arranging, and top notch musicality make A Cappella's Dead an impressive release...lots of solid classic rock (and a few funny moments): an excellent album...it certainly is quality a cappella."
Jonathan Minkoff, Recorded A Cappella Review Board
