Rachel Ana Dobken isn’t satisfied with the ordinary. Her work is a brilliant amalgamation of extraordinary jazz influences, heart-aching soul rhythms and incendiary indie rock instincts.” - Southern Sounding

"Dobken does an excellent job telling a story not just with the lyrics on 'Everybody Wants,’ but in the music as well....She crafts an incredible rock ballad here, the horn section mixing with the tones of her guitar to create a truly moving piece of music.” - Substream Magazine
