“Eric Comstock is one of the most engaging new vocalists on the scene…cool sophistication… unpretentious, straightforward vocal style…a breakout effort.”
– Dan McClenaghan, AllAboutJazz.com, April 2005
“NO ONE KNOWS is the singer-pianist’s third and most jazz-assured album. From cabaret, Comstock has learned to value the words and intentions of composers; he approaches lyrics with the care of an actor who has studied the back-story of a plot. And he’s a resourceful curator of the American jazz and classic pop songbook. Yet he inhabits songs easily, eschewing the arch pretensions of ‘high’ cabaret for the more relaxed approach of the saloon singer…. There’s not a disappointing track on this album, and when the last track, ‘I Hear Music,’ ends, you want to hear it all again.”
– George Kanzler, Hot House, March 2005
