"Having Alejandro Escovedo at the production helm of her new album is certainly an attention-getter for Amy Cook–but her own spirited vocals command respect regardless of his presence. Let in The Light is a compelling album full of tangled emotions." – M Music & Musicians
".like a brassier, dusty Deborah Harry." – David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"If I had to compare Amy Cook to another singer I'd say she sounds like a female Jeff Buckley. She's definitely got her own thing going though. Her album is filled with beautifully written well crafted songs in the tradition of an American troubadour."
– Erika Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards
"Amy Cook has a gift: a voice and songs that inspire, that become soundtracks for the moonrise and hotel lights. Love and the twisted tales it can become are here in Amy's voice and songs. Just listen." – Alejandro Escovedo
"From L.A. where she penned tunes for TV and film to the eclectic, west Texas town of Marfa (the backdrop for films like No Country for Old Men) to Austin, Cook has traveled and evolved, all leading to the finest recording she’s made to date, Let the Light In." – Tim Basham, Paste Magazine
"Supporting her excellent new record, Let The Light In, Cook, with her lovely weathered vocals and solid songwriting, is a reminder of the local quality that Austin residents take for granted." – David Coggins, Interview Magazine
" 'Mescaline' and 'I Wanna Be Your Marianne' jump out of the gate with real swagger…And the blues-drenched 'Moonrise,' on which Cook wails repeatedly, 'When you gonna look my wayyy?' is riveting. Yet amid all the commotion, it's a more wistful moment that steals the show. 'My face was always pressed against the glass,' Cook sings on the album's first single, 'Hotel Lights', a magnificent remembrance of yearning and revelation that features Patty Griffin on backing vocals. 'You were the only one who ever asked 'Why don’t you come inside?'' " – Jeff McCord, Texas Monthly
