“When (Schmidt) sits down to play—my God, the same sharp, clean attack, the same dexterity, the same light touch, the same rhythmic urgency the same meticulous conception. The thrill of being there before him and his partner—and the sense of privilege—is in all ways indistinguishable from what it was in the reconverted church.”
“This revue of the works of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt has the feel of an intimate, sophisticated cabaret.”
“Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, who have been entertaining the public over five decades are at it again. And New York is the richer for it.”
“The real stars of this show are Jones, Schmidt and their captivating music.”
“A friendly celebration of words and music by a timeless team.”
“The smartest decision of all here was to have the songwriters themselves on stage, at the center of the festivities.”

“Songwriters Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt can’t help entertaining everyone. …their sentimental humor and gentle nature can always be counted on.”
“It has a company of only five, but no more are needed – three very attractive performers singing the songs accompanied by the adamantly silent composer (Mr. Schmidt) at the piano, and the compulsively, and charmingly loquacious lyricist, Mr Jones as narrator and raconteur extraordinaire.”
