"It’s with flawless effort that Greta paints vivid images, at times stark enough to haunt even the hardest of hearts, with a blatant honesty that’s all-too-absent from today’s music. Greta seems to be heading in the right "direction", with the only thing keeping her from wider acclaim being a label deal. Don’t be too surprised if you see Greta gracing the covers of “Paste Magazine” or any other related magazines, she’s the real deal and her heart speaks loud and clear in one of the best Indie Folk releases the Bay Area has seen this decade." - RootsHighway

"The world seems full of unknown artists releasing little heralded albums… California singer-songwriter Greta stands a good chance of widening her personal circle with this debut release..." - NetRhythms

"This is a really solid release from a very gifted artist, one that is totally new to me. For some people, that is the kiss of death. Not knowing a single song from the radio or from some movie soundtrack can totally drive some people away. Others will listen, but then it will devolve into a comparison-fest of “she sounds like such and such mixed with who’s-his-face”. I am frequently guilty of that crime, but music of this caliber needs to be heard by the general public.
California songstress, Sonya Greta, has collected a solid set of musicians to perform a solid set of songs, ranging from the quick and rocking title track, to the gentle waves of “Ode to Mrs. Pontellier”… This skilled trio of musicians (Greta on guitar, piano, and voice, with Andrew Stess on bass and Ronn Pifer on drums) is bolstered by an incredible array of percussionists, cellists, and guitar players, making the album that much fuller and diverse.
This collection of original music should challenge all the coffeehouse singers and acoustic wannabes to really explore their sound and create something memorable, as Sonya Greta has done with Vigilante Arcade. " - Grant Capes, IndieWorkshop.com

"Greta’s voice is deep and soothing, while at the same time gutsy. It’s a very homey feeling one gets when listening to her sing." - CollectedSounds
