"Even with full group backing on the jazz swing of "Hospitalville", Frankie Sparo's songs are all encompassing in their intimacy… Listening to the record is like dropping in on a private reverie…" – The Wire
"This is a small capsule of brilliance... There is a fair bit of gloom and restlessness on Welcome Crummy Mystics, but there is vague hope as well and an unerring ambition that holds together all the disparate ideas: the lo-fi and the cinematic, the dreamy and the earthbound." – Careless Talk Costs Lives
"[Y]ou the listener will find yourself wandering through a world of haunting melodies, lamenting cries…and some of the most well-crafted music you will have had the privilege to experience... Welcome Crummy Mystics is an album for those who look to music for poignant moments of beauty and occasional flashes of despair." – Deep Fry Bonanza
"Sparo's vocals are slightly louder than a breath and have a charming way of slightly walking around the key of the songs. The instrumentation is extremely choice, often spare but full of chatter, never feeling arbitrary, nor too mannered." – Fakejazz
"Much of Welcome Crummy Mystics weaves around off-kilter, from humbled to hurt, distraught to indignant. Intriguing." – Splendid
"Full and flowing landscapes of sounds are played along by way of strings, trumpets, electronic ambience and the sorrowful vocals of this man's songs." – SHZine
