““And suddenly I see the face of this guy with dreads and I listened to him singing the song and thought ‘Oh my God, this is amazing.” - Harrison Reiner, Producer of Amar a Morir”

— Brett Leigh Dicks, A Grand Hallelujah for Amar a Morir

“. . . a radical alternative to the howling bombast that had been the hallmark of Fox's reality juggernaut for six previous seasons, and in less than two minutes, changed the Idol game forever.”

— Michael Slezak, Entertainment Weekly

“His versions of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" and the Lovin' Spoonful's "Daydream" were similarly stripped down and excellent testaments to minimalism.”

— David Lindquist, Indy.com

“His voice has been described as smooth and airy, unusual, creative. He takes risks with inflection, and for that, his sound is recognizable.”

— Pamela Gwyn Kripke, D Magazine

“A Half-Dozen Cool Things in Music: #1: Jason Castro. His covering Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" at the "American Idols Live" concert was hip, modern, unexpected and so un-"Idol." It's no wonder they didn't get him on that show.”

— Minneapolis Star Tribune

“[He] just stood out. He seems incapable of doing anything forced or unauthentic. … And his “Hallelujah”? Damn. ... and to do it that kind of justice — only a couple of weeks, I might add, before Leonard Cohen was inducted into the Rock Hall — well, that was it. Jeff Buckley was smiling.”

— John Norris, MTv News

"..it only took a few minutes for folk-rocker Jason Castro to establish a delightful laid-back hippie-dude persona and showcase the kind of sweet, bombast-free vocals that rarely, if ever, make an appearance on the Idol stage."

— Michael Slezak, Entertainment Weekly

“While the others play to pre-fab pop music characters, Castro could claim credit as the night's true original.”

— Howard Cohen, Miami Herald

“ … he performed a low-key, charming version originated by Hawaiian star Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, complete with ukulele, and once again (as with Hallelujah) he pulled off the night's most unlikely outstanding performance. ”

— Ken Barnes, USA Today
