"Singer and guitarist Eli Cook settles into the rhythm of the blues with surprising presence and warmth, something quite rare among the younger exponents of 12-bar music. His performances on Miss Blues'es Child attest to his high regard for forefathers like Son House and Mississippi Fred McDowell." -- Frank-John Hadley (2007 Keeping the Blues Alive Journalism Award Winner)
“Natural and convincing, (Cook) has what it takes to be the best blues singer of his generation…” -- All Music Guide
“Simply put, Miss Blues’es Child provides ample evidence that Eli Cook is a major talent, following in the footsteps of Gregg Allman and Joe Cocker as a white man who can truly sing the blues…” –Hittin’ The Note
“…Cook doesn’t just play exceptionally well for someone his age, he plays exceptionally well for someone of any age, in any age. He’s a prodigy, with enough soul in him now to match someone with years of experience, and the chops to flaunt it.” – The Hook, Charlottesville, VA
“Cook's raucous take on "Fixin' To Die" shows his mastery of incessant, scratchy electricity. By contrast, the satisfying, seven-minute-long "Trick Bag," demonstrates his sensitivity to the importance of empty space, something young performers don't usually develop so early in their careers. Eli Cook is a talent to reckon with.” -- Blogcritics
“His debut CD, Miss Blues’es Child, is musically simple and intriguing. Cook sings in the slurred, sometimes droning style of an old bluesman and has a guitar tone that alternates between low-down greasy and refreshingly crisp.” –Fort Worth Weekly
“Cook sounds as if he was raised at the bottom of the Mississippi Delta (especially on the fine “Terraplane Blues”)…even the timbre of his voice suggests he is not of this era...” –Pop Matters
“[Eli is] a kid sick with talent and someone with the potential to reinvigorate a tired genre.” –Slant Magazine
“[Eli] Cook makes himself right at home on songs like “Terraplane Blues”, serving the style-over-substance Jonny Langs of the blues world their eviction notices.” –C-Ville (Charlottesville, VA)
