"First Cuts"

'Hold Tight' is a tense track full of emotion and impressively vocal from John O Connor dressed up in winsome harmonies from Lisa Walsh. - Jackie Hayden-Hot Press


"Murphys Live 2007"

Sometimes, as in the case of The Citizen, a shy performance is endearing. Given enough time, they have the potential to be one of the major players in the irish music scene. - Shilpa Ganatra-Hot Press


"Evening Echo"

Tracks like 'Lead You Home' sound like the better end of 'Room to Roam' era Waterboys. - Don O Mahony - Downtown


"Irish Unsigned"

The Citizen have an instantly recognizable sound that makes you want to hear more. The 'Paper Hearts' EP is well presented with beautiful packaging, memorable tracks, intelligent lyrics and catchy melodies. - Grace Larkin
