“Lying scumbags of Los Angeles, we salute you: You’ve inspired a great thing here!” -- SF Weekly

“You’ll find that (Eleni’s) Afternoon has caressed your face, breathed its hot breath gently into your ear, pulled you into the bedroom and...well, you can picture the rest, which is precisely the point.” -- Paste

“The unifying quality of Mandell’s astonishing ability to inhabit multiple styles without relinquishing her unique vision for subtly compelling and consistently satisfying songs” -- Harp

“Eleni has earned flattering comparisons from Tom Waits to PJ harvey to Rickie Lee Jones. The parallels lie more in Mandell’s lyrical tone than in any direct sonic resemblance: She channels the same dark energy as artists who are far better known.” -- The Onion

“On Afternoon, her fifth album, Mandell combines her love of various genres including country, pop, jazz and rock, to stunning effect.” -- No Depression

“With a sultry smokes-and-booze voice and a delivery that's ‘can’t be bothered’ one minute and ‘pinch me if I'm dreaming’ the next, Eleni Mandell is hopeful and derisive, dramatic and playful, a Holly Golightly if she'd been written by Raymond Chandler. On her fifth album, the Los Angeles-based torch singer lowers her silk stockings just enough to show some vulnerability and also lets a few country tinges burn away some of the mist.” -- RollingStone.com

“Mandell wraps her quietly intense voice and striking lyrics in music that evokes the country-kissed, spring-pure pop-rock of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.” -- Chicago Tribune

“So refreshing — like someone actually opened the drapes and let some sunshine into that dingy old dive on the lost highway.” -- Seattle Stranger

“Afternoon is a plenty sexy affair...lingers after the thrill is gone.” -- Philadelphia Inquirer

“With alt-rock's favorite sexpot, Liz Phair, making goo-goo eyes at Avril Lavigne's fan base these days, the music biz is in dire need of a sultry chanteuse for adults. Norah Jones is way too wholesome for the job, and while Lucinda Williams is a contender, the alt-country queenpin's erratic, honey-I'm-not-in-the-mood approach to making records can leave fans feeling like spurned lovers pining for just one more passionate kiss.” -- Washington Post
