Music2Web, Germany
“Long Live Love is a wonderful album. Folk lovers, hippies at heart and anyone wishing to remember the 60’s will especially love it.’’

In de ban van, the Netherlands
"Long Live Love is the album of the year!’’

PLATO, the Netherlands
"What I think of the CD? I get up on the wrong side of the bed, cut my cheek shaving, spill hot coffee on my freshly ironed shirt, discover heavily frosted car windows: to end up in a 17 km traffic jam. I put on Long Live Love by The Jack Stafford Foundation and suddenly I love all the other drivers around me. Love and Peace to all!’’

Musicfrom, the Netherlands
"Long Live Love is a great record…we are curious what the JSF will treat us with in the future’’

Oor, the Netherlands
"An album full of genuine love’’

Het Muziekcafe, the Netherlands
"A very intricate production that surprises out of pure beauty… country and folk are never far away whilst pop is master. There is even a hit on the album: The World is Wonderful.’’

POP INSTITUUT, the Netherlands
"Long Live Love is a tribute to the love. Jack sings love songs with a folk-like dressing and we can even hear some country influences here and there. Harps, banjos and church organs; that's what The Jack Stafford Foundation peppered with tongue-in-cheek humor. A surprise that is far from unpleasant.’’ - Combined
