BLOGCRITICS - By Jack Goodstein: Music Review: The Chronicle of a Literal Man by Rob Morsberger. "He writes lyrics that will reward the kind of explicative analysis usually accorded to the finest poets." "Richly original." His lyrics are dense with allusion, metaphor and creative rhyming."

Writer Lee Zimmerman included the CD in the 'Quick Takes' section of his INDIE SCENES column, and praised: "...the sharp air of defiance in the title track quickly upends preconceived notions. Morsberger's literate songs are etched with irony ("Old Jolly Farm"), nostalgia ("Nebraska in Winter") and recrimination ("Like Eating a Stone," "Independent Movie").
