Billboard Magazine
"The Great Indoors is a blend of bright riffs, heavy basslines, and sweet yet melancholic vocals." Read review.

The Boston Phoenix
"The 60-minute headlining set the band performed during their sold-out CD-release party upstairs at the Middle East last Saturday seemed to rush by in the bright, thrilling whirl of sonic sparklers, pinwheels, and other exploding party favors the band conjure on their luminescent new album, The Great Indoors. Replete with hazy, head-buzzing textures, and casually emphatic hooks that sneak up on you early and often, Indoors brings into widescreen focus the indie-pop manna the group's 1998 debut, Happylove, had only hinted at."

"Star Ghost Dog have been tearing up the CMJ charts lately and it's no surprise. Their 4 song EP, Underdrive, offers a pastiche of sonic flavors with enough melodic hooks to satisfy any college radio listener." Read review.

The Boston Phoenix, "Local Music Preview"
"Happylove is a sweet-and-sour pop gem that adds some subversive twists to an effervescent guitar-band sound. Singer Ginny Weaver's delivery is so charming that you barely notice the nasty wit in a lot of her lyrics. The bright guitar sound and abundance of hooks makes it all sound more innocent than it really is."

The Boston Phoenix
"Just when it seems that every possible catchy tune has been written, somebody comes along, writes a few more and convinces you that you've needed to hear them all along ... Star Ghost Dog are the latest example." Read article.

The Boston Globe
"'Plus de Vaches' and 'Downer' are smart pop tunes with a witty, subversive edge." Read article.

CDNOW/Allstar
"This moody, clever album (Happylove) is a suitable elixir for those who've had it with tired alterna-rock cliches." Read review.

Puncture
"Star Ghost Dog flourish a fine pop style on their debut album. With fluid, sure-stepping melodies sung mostly by Ginny Weaver and written by her with Brendan Lynch, Happylove is thoroughly addictive."

The Oracle
"Happylove has everything that much current indie rock doesn't. It's strong, flowing, and has something that almost anyone can find to like."

Anodyne
"What a pleasant surprise. With their firecracker debut, Happylove, Star Ghost Dog earns a shiny medal around its nifty collective neck. Quickly building to a tail-chasing pace, the opening 'Downer' is anything but -- with its sugary woo-whoo-woos bracketing Ginny Weaver's sleepy but insistent voice that tumbles through alienated poetics. At exactly three and a half minutes, it's likely perfect. A bouyant, heady meeting of the minds between washed-out polished basement rock and playful pop (a stoned Debbie Harry fronting Big Star, anyone?), Happylove is more grounded than the term suggests, but no less involving or endearing. Enjoy this puppy."

"They're young, they're cute, they write great tunes, they've got a sly sense of humor, and they know how it feels when love gets weird. Just a few reasons why Star Ghost Dog are becoming one of Boston's best-liked pop outfits." Read review.
