"...delightful magic... a twilight journey into a Mythic realm... The colorfully painted figures, splendid vocal characterizations, and music enraptured us, with the freshness of discovery and enchantment where childhood's dreams are twined, in memory's mystic band."
- Mark Burstein, Knight Letter, Lewis Carroll Society of North America

"Alice in the Shadows puts its own psychedelic spin complete with incense, flowers, a light show and '60s-style rock music... So join the mad tea party, but don't expect the squeaky-clean animated Disney version that has dominated the popular American imagination for the last 50 years. That Alice doesn't live here anymore."
- Sandra Ross, Los Angeles Weekly
