Gary
Glauber, Writer, Fufkin.com:
"Fran
Smith Jr. knows how to write the kind of melodic pop that used
to dominate popular radio years ago" >MORE

Randy
Kotz, WMMR:
"Their
CD 'Man Meets Machine' is sheer delight!
"Leonardo" is a Beatlesque classic.. from the
wonderful arrangement, to Fran's lead vocals, to goosebump
harmonies, and, oh yeah, the TCM can play, thank you!" >MORE

"Add
Fran Smith Jr to the list of artists who seem to be able to beat
Sir Macca at his own game in the new millennium. Listen to
“Leonardo” and tell me that isn’t one of the best songs
Paul McCartney did not write. The rest of this satisfying effort
is a blast and will no doubt excite discerning fans of clever
pop-rock – the kind that never goes out of style."

Glen
Burtnik:
"As
far as MY list of fave
2004 albums, I strongly suggest people look up my buddy Fran's
new album 'MAN MEETS MACHINE.' ( And The Ten Cent
Millionaires.) Besides the fact that I appear on 5 tracks
and Plinky did a lot of solid Production work on it, I really
love the melodies - AND the album's final track slays me."

Zimmerman, South Florida's Entertainment News & Views:

filled with cheery, harmonious, effervescent power pop boasting
a Brit-rock"

Not
Lame Recording Company:
"The
spot-on Ram-era McCartney of "Leonardo" is worth the
price of admission, such is the truly stellar nature of
everything on this incredibly striking release that is rife with
ringing 12 stringed guitars, exhilarating arrangements and
brilliant, richly produced hooks." >MORE

Kool
Kat Music:
"Top-notch
pop songs delivered in a Paul McCartney/Cotton
Mather/Owsley/XTC-ish kind of way (both vocally and
instrumentally) - and they're all good things!" >MORE

Jam
Records:
"Fran
has a great singing voice and the music is rooted in Beatles
style pop/rock with very catchy melodies." >MORE
