"Everything about Peter is soulful and singular. His musical spectrum feels limitless because his emotions run deep, his connections so strong and pure. His work is a bit hard to describe because he truly is one-of-a-kind. Hmmmm. If Johnny Depp and Cat Stevens had a son and James Taylor was his baby-sitter, maybe THAT would be Peter Oyloe."

— Tina Salmone, Marion Star

“Acoustic troubadour Peter Oyloe gently spins a storytelling web. His tales of love and loss, augmented by a powerful backing band, invoke the spirit of Paul Simon and James Taylor. File this burgeoning talent under future folk legend.”

— Editor, Download.com

“Peter is the best folk singer I have heard in decades! I am a child of the 60's and 70's, so grew up listening to folk music. Peter easily compares with the greatest from that generation. His voice is comparable to that of Tim Buckley...in other words, amazing. ”

— CD Baby

“Oyloe has so seamlessly bound the melodic contour of his songs with his unique voice and lyrics that listeners may not discern the amazing merit of the vocal track at first. Soaringly high passages in songs like "Dreaming of the Underwater," and 'I Am" make it clear that this young man is more than a simple folk singer. In fact, songs like these make it difficult to classify Oyloe's music with their eclectic sound and almost ethereal mix of folk, jazz and rock. ”

— Ken Mowery, Indie-Music.com

“Oyloe's Words & Music will become part of the soundtrack of your interior life.”

— Charlie Langton, Tapestry
