"...they're worth a drive clear across Texas. A bevy of back-porch beauties...pack the stage, playing the bejesus out of all kinds of instruments."
- Texas Monthly

"The sisters and mama have a repertoire as deep as a battleship ammunition locker. Rock, country, Spanish ballads and jazzy who-knows-what, these people are one of Austin's best kept secrets."
- The Austin Chronicle

"I've worked in the studio and on the stage with these ladies. Just a few descriptive words: soulful, silky, spontaneous, smooth, energized, mesmerized, and really good. They are naturally blended. It's in the bloodline."
- Lloyd Maines, Producer

"...one of the least predictable country bands in the Southwest as evidenced by top ten ranking as Best Country Band, Best Avant-garde Band, Best Folk Band and best None of the Above Band by the Austin Chronicle Music Polls of 1983-1986. The Texana Dames draw on every Texas music tradition..."

"Within Conjunto / Country / Southwest jump style or rock, Las Tejanas (Mama and the "girls") twist and twirl them tunes! Crooning, the dames be doing it -- como siempre -- boogie'n seductively, with some sure enough, serious, 'burglarize your heart away' Har-Mo-ni-Zing!"
- Raul Salinas, Poet/Author, Trip through the Mind Jail and East of the Freeway

"...a 'religious' experience...a truly mystical collection of individuals...forces you to rise and dance."

"...Texana Dames, playing the most interesting music you'll hear all night...a grand and silly reading of Texacana from bayou boogie to Tex-Mex that grooves 'til the cows come home or the beer runs dry."
- The Houston Chronicle

"...listeners are treated to effective, predominantly self-penned tunes which re-energize whatever genre the Dames choose to present."
- The Austin American-Statesman
