Reviews of Crooked Smile

Rootstime [Belgium]
"Stefanie Fix has that essential ability to present a concept or feeling in the most precise package possible, saying, to paraphrase an old quote, - the mostest, with the leastest - now that's the hallmark of good songwriting. Crooked Smile is a great masterpiece with its distinctive vocal drive duelled with thoughtful, and artful lyrics, glued with perfect production"
 -Freddy Celis

U.K. Maverick Maverick [England/U.K.]
“The line-up alone should be enough to make you sit up and take notice, but when you add ace songwriting then you have a classy rock album.” -- Alan Cackett

Hanx Net [The Netherlands]
"Stefanie Fix reminds me of Kate Bush in the same way she also reminds me of Melissa Etheridge. That's almost impossible, but there are moments on 'Crooked Smile' that she is able to combine the two. Heavenly pop and raw, roots-rock go hand in hand." ~Patrick Donders

The Austin Chronicle[Austin, TX]
“Austin singer-songwriters, especially the women, have a bit of self-consciousness about them...Fortunately, Fix doesn't seem the least bit intimidated and saunters forth with a solid sophomore effort that polishes her indie rock edge. Fix has a fine pop sensibility about her music ("Holy Shit, Ma," "Walking Shoes") tempered by experience, intelligence, and expressive vocals”. -Margaret Moser

Flanfire [Austin, TX]
Stefanie Fix just oozed a smokey sexiness that reminded me of Ingrid Bergman in Gaslight or Anastasia -- just a little dangerous. Her songs reflect hard times and a ray of hope -- this is LATE NIGHT music that must not be played while wearing pastels. Color this music deep red, blue black, and shades of grey.
-Duggan Flanakin

All Music Guide
"The songwriting is earthy, rootsy, and introspective -— Fix, who wrote all of the material herself, has not forsaken her singer/songwriter credentials — but Stephen Doster and Johnny Goudie (the album's producers) bring a hazy, psychedelic-minded production to tracks like "Don't Go, Don't Stay" and "Dancing with Ghosts." It's an intriguing combination — psychedelic haziness meets down-to-earth songcraft and a lot of earnest blues feeling — and it's a combination that works well for Fix on the appealing and memorable Crooked Smile". Alex Henderson

Goldmine Magazine

“SURVIVAL is that rare drink of water in the desert, that diamond in the rough. It is a record that truly deserves to be heard, from America’s next big pop star, Stefanie Fix”. -Michael B. Smith

The All Music Guide gave ‘SURVIVAL’ 4 stars and call’s Fix’s work “edgy & confident”. –Alex Henderson

Chronogram Woodstock,NY
“Fix writes, sings and plays with passion, and her obvious debt to some of the best songwriters of the age only puts her in good company.” -Todd Paul

WUMB-Boston
“With SURVIVAL, a mature Stefanie Fix makes good on the shiny promise of her early recordings. The voice is full and knowing now: powerful without pushing, on the edge without fear of falling. Variously personal, political, soulful and outright rocking, Fix holds her own in front of a truly stunning studio band led by the always impressive Larry Cambell.” -Marilyn Rae Beyer/former MusicDir WUMB

Taconic Weekly-Catskills, NY 
“She possesses a unique instrument, a rich, strong alto that puts an exclamation point after the word “folk”. SURVIVAL is a well-penned collection of thoughtful songs in the true spirit of the singer/songwriter”. -Kate Goldsmith

The Woodstock Times - Woodstock, NY
“You could spend a hundred bucks or more to try and catch the Lilith Fair, but for a hell of a lot less you could stay right here and catch a lady who could easily have stood up to anyone on that bill.”

The Washington Post called Stefanie “A rising songwriter”

The Coast Weekly -Monteray, CA
“Her sound is alternately powerful and sweet, her voice expressive to the point you can visualize a smile or knowing glance in the inflection.”
