"While some bands are busy competing to see whose jeans are the skinniest, the guys in One Ring Zero march to the sound of their own accordion."
–Air & Space Smithsonian
"This is the Brooklyn band's eighth album and is perfect summer chill out listening and a great background soundtrack to pondering the vast universe, too."

"All the planets–and dwarf planet Pluto, too–get a nod, as do Jupiter's myriad moons and the exoplanets. Even without subject matter so close to Discover's heart, Planets would still be a plain old good listen."
–Discover Magazine
"Your coolness quotient shoots up a few points if you're in the know about One Ring Zero."
–The Washington Post
