"His songs, so lyrically rich, so finely crafted, carry the power of fine poetry. They accentuate the narrative. They celebrate subtlety. Schmidt's songs are filled with nimble wordplay and cool cadences; they move with the light feet of a dancer. But in the tone and theme, they convey weight and depth and substance."
- Austin American-Statesman
"His voice is of its own kind, an arresting warble I've witnessed stopping folks in their tracks. The lyrics. Every phrase bursting with irony or humor or revelation or all three. Only one label will stick: sui generis, in a class of his own, one of a kind."
- David Kleiner, Minor 7th
"Everything about the man is gentle, except his capacity for insight, which is crushing.”
