  "Armstrong's lilting, heartfelt voice gives life to warm and gracious tunes. This is unaffected, beautiful Texas music."

"Ann Armstrong's talents, both as a songwriter and blues performer, are deep and diverse. Armstrong's music, whether recorded or live, is solid, sincere and roots-conscious.

  "Armstrong's blazing blues guitar and sensitive ballardry make for real Texas folk blues."
· Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Beyond the blues." "On stage, Dallas' Ann Armstrong is forceful when she pulls out her acoustic bottleneck slide guitar to play the blues. Ms. Armstrong's furious, down-and-dirty rendition of Robert Johnson's 'Come Into My Kitchen' - the highlight of her live set - is downright flammable. Ms Armstrong also shares some genuinely catchy pop hooks on original songs such as 'Stars Go Out" and "Think About the Rain" Why, at times backed by a ticklish flute and her own stellar acoustic guitar, dangerous Ann Armstrong comes across as sweet as sugar. Ms. Armstrong's live sets are so substantial - extra grit, extra grease, extra sassy slide guitar."
