Washington Post, Alexander F. Remington: “Klose wins over the listener with his soaring voice, which may well be a staple of chamber pop for a long time to come.”

PopMatters.com, Lisa Torem: “’Doing Time’ features a modal melodic passage on accordion. Snatches of European folk-dance provide touches of melancholia. Measures that recall Hungarian composer Bela Bartok subtly appear. The lyrics are pleasant, but what creates the mood is the sense of emotional history that Klose owns up to.”

Blurt, Brian Baker: "There are wonderfully atmospheric folk pop moments reminiscent of the most accessible work of David Gray and Francis Dunnery (‘Beautiful Dream,’ ‘Mother Said, Father Said’) and others that shimmer like Sting's latter-day jazz leanings via a contemporary Kurt Weill songwriting angle (‘Doing Time’) and still others that hint at his African connection (‘Watching You Go’). Klose doesn't fit comfortably in any particular genre, with jazz and pop and folk elements woven tightly into his sonic textures in a way that guarantees a relatively broad appeal across stylistic lines.”

Elmore Magazine, Abigail Wright: 
"Jann Klose has star power. Klose's gentle but undeniably strong voice and poetic, insightful lyrics make REVERIE a treat for the ear. A soothing journey through Klose's mind and soul, the album is aptly titled."

New Music Weekly, Jon Hudson: 
"I just got a copy of Jann Klose and his REVERIE project. This is an amazing collection to great music and every track has something special in it. My favorite cut is ‘Give In To This Life’ that could end up becoming a radio anthem."

Philadelphia Daily News, Jonathan Takiff: "Ear-grabbing pop singer-songwriter has a confident yet gentle voice, with tints if soul gospel and Afropop rhythms. The latter reflects his childhood in Nairobi, Kenya and South Africa."

Fairfield Weekly, Connecticut: “The Bronx-based Klose has the emotions of a sensitive folkie but catapults them with a voice and tone that evoke a libido-driven soul singer.”

Chicago Examiner, Roger Reis: “He has no limitations and proves himself one song after another. As the CD progresses the songs develop into a work of art complimenting the previous song with style. Not many CD’s are perfect from beginning to end, but REVERIE is a timeless work of art that has no bad songs, lyrics, or notes.”

Advance Newspaper Wire Service, MassLive.com, Kevin O’Hare: “The first thing that's totally unmistakable about Jann Klose is that voice – which is just light years beyond that of the typical singer/songwriter … a sound that is classy, distinctive and often irresistible.”

NetRhythms, U.K., Mike Davies: “Gorgeous, autumnal album laced with stand-out tracks … he has the talent and the material to become a major artist on the world stage.”
