"Retoff is definitely one of the bright lights on the pop-rock underground." --RockBeat International (USA)
"Multi-instrumentalist Bill Retoff is everything an underground artist should be....Having learned his lessons from the cream of the crop (the Beatles, the Searchers, the Hollies, the Monkees), Bill patently dons his tunes in a dapper wardrobe made of jangly guitar riffs, infectious hooks and upbeat vibes."--Twist And Shake (USA)

"Bill keeps on making great recordings."--Gerard Girard, Pop Dreams Radio Show (France)
Eternal Groove / SHE TALKS TO TREES b/w MOON DREAM
"She Talks To Trees features a raggedy folky Violent Femmes sound, while Moon Dream is a romantic, '60-ish' ballad with a roller rink organ solo...it works."--The Platterpuss (USA)
