“With her low-key voice, lonely guitar lines, insinuating phrasing, oddball rhythmic hooks and casually brutal put-downs, Ms. Hoffman makes moody and sexy pop songs.” - Ben Ratliff, New York Times
“The new album (From The Blue House), produced with elegant simplicity by Hoffman with an assist by Brian Kehew, shows off her lyrical bite to splendid effect… the vocalist shines on such striking tracks as “Heavy Scene”, “Rare New Disease”, “Song For A Boy”, and “Whoever You Are” - Billboard.
“After her beautiful album From The Blue House from 1999, the young American singer Lauren Hoffman chose to retreat a little. Those few years of reflection and doubts allowed her to give birth to Choreography, a work of perfect coherence; a lovely union of pop, folk and rock.” FiP Radio France (translated)
