- AudioFile Magazine, "Heaven's Shadow" review from AudioFile Magazine
"Electronic Yodeling Pickle: ...it's Archie McPhee's best-selling item of the season ($12.95 at McPhee.com). There's lots of charm lurkin' in this gherkin. Not only that, it comes equipped with better pipes than Melinda Doolittle, belting out a 10-second yodel that puts country stars -- and most Austrians -- to shame."
- Cleveland Plain Dealer (John Campanelli), Electronic Yodeling Pickle for Archie McPhee

Review: Oh! What A Lovely War
"Without any attempt at contemporary parallels, those parallels are evident, particularly the quasi-religious fervor of Sir Douglas Haig (Joe Thomas) rationalizing his policy of attrition, sending wave after wave of British troops into the trenches."

Nominated: Best Musical- LA Weekly, Sir Douglas Haig in Oh! What A Lovely War
