    This LP is deliciously ambitious and stunning in the production and collation of such varied elements and influences.

    His predilection for marrying sublime pop melodies to bombastic arrangements laced with classical avant-garde flourishes has reached a new level of focus, and, resultantly, potency, on Jackrabbit.

    For those willing to pay careful attention, it provides a deeper, more rewarding experience. [Mar - Apr 2015, p.86]

    The performances are strident and lean, suggesting the players are every bit as invested in delivering the best reading of Ludwig-Leone's complex and often gorgeous songs as he was inspired in creating them.

    The foibles in surface-level character development thankfully get overshadowed for much of the album with the undeniable charm of the orchestral pop sound.

    All the pieces are in place; the composer and players are uncannily gifted for a rock band. All that’s missing is the will to transcend expectations.

    Jackrabbit is still a potent and evocative listening experience, even if it strongly recalls memories of even more potent and evocative listening experiences by other bands.
