"This ain't no party, but it's definitely a disco, and those pulsating to the likes of MSTRKRFT, Daft Punk, and Hot Chip should get hip to Wolfgang's indie electronic kind of lurrrrve."
  "It's good stuff. Plus, he's got a kick-ass sci-fi backstory."

"This release is at first daunting, though after an initial listen it becomes a must have."
 

ONLINE REVIEW
"Just the sort of thing to make one either dance or fall in love with a humanoid. Of course, it goes without saying that this elaborate fiction is also a not-so-subtle parable about homosexuality, still largely not accepted in a country where frightened heteros feel they need to outlaw gay marriage. Thankfully, we have Wolfgang to soothe us with his emotion-filled art. All the tracks are excellent..."

Old school synth fight, like
Moroder kicking Kraftwerk

"One of the most unique and enchanting albums of the year thus far."
 
"Without question one of the most unique, interesting and danceable discs to come around in some time."
"This is not a novelty band and this is not a novelty song. It is a damn good song, actually. Wolfgang has a beautiful voice and a real knack for composition. His little robo-heart seems to be broken on this song, and the listener definitely will find pleasure in his pain."
 
"Wolfgang has the potential to be a novelty act. Like after five seconds you could be, “Oh ha ha an emotional robot.” And then be done. Lucky for Wolfgang, this robot has some solid indie electro-pop songwriting backing him up."
 
"Of course I know it's not true, but the 'Short Circuit' like story created to backup the cute and quirky synthpop sound is pretty nifty."
 
"How often have you wished robots made pop music? Not just pre-programmed, by-the-numbers crap, but real pop music, with feeling and longing and regret and everything that makes music great?...Wolfgang makes beautiful electropop with just a perfect tinge of robot melancholy."
 
"The story of Wolfgang the Robot is tragic and inspiring...the gist of it is, robot built by millionaire to create pop music, robot falls in love with man, creates perfect pop song. "Not in Love (Not True)" has those synth chords you miss from the 80's songs you hear on your local Mix station set to pulsing drums and then it comes: vocoder. You love it, you feel like crying, dancing, and building your own robot to love Wolfgang."
 
"Se amate il synthpop di quegli anni, non vi dispiace il vocoder e sapete apprezzare un’idea geniale quando vi ci imbattete, quello di Wolfgang è l’ep giusto per la vostra estate."
 
"Some fun, dancey electro came along from a new label called Hypnote started by David Rothblatt in NY. The artist sent along was Wolfgang who is apparently a nice looking retro-robot. The tunes have a nice pop sensibility and will no doubt get a few feet moving..."
 
"This song is composed by Wolfgang, an abandoned supposed 1980’s musical royalties generating machine, and reflects his realization that a human can never truly love a robot. - ‘Wolfgang's songs illustrate the experience of love and heartache, of the initial joy and eventual hopelessness that accompanies unrequited love’ - Yes, I thought it sounded pretentious too. Then I actually listened to it……the beat sounds like Hey Mickey at the beginning but don’t let that put you off, pure vocoder emotion follows."
 
Liked it!! Mainly stuff from the press release...
 
Japanese language blog, seems to like Wolfgang!
