"Iain Campbell Smith writes very well - and sometimes very amusingly - in his own voice."
Lucky Oceans, the Planet, 27 November 2001

"You'd have to go a long way to find a singer-songwriter with more scope. From performing in the schoolrooms and on the airstrips of South Pacific islands to revving up the locals at dingy inner city pubs, Smith makes the term 'versatile' seem an understatement."
Matt Levey, Revolver Magazine, November 2001

"Iain Campbell Smith possesses a sharp intelligence obviously homed on the unique personality and problems of his current home, Australia."
Michael Smith, Drum Media, 1999

"Iain Campbell Smith is certainly a talent to watch. His debut CD Soapbox demonstrates excellent songwriting ability.
Richard Wyndeyer, Muse Magazine, 1998

"Australia's answer to Billy Bragg... a brilliant wit... pure entertainment."
Tracy Heffernan, BMA Magazine, Sept 1998

"His songs range from the deeply affecting, to the astringently observant, to the rousing singalong. He has a perceptive eye for modern Australian life, it's foibles and joys, and an ability to express this in song."
Philip O'Brien, producer, ArtSound FM

"A walking, talking, singing, dancing Leunig cartoon."
Buz Magazine, Canberra Times, 1999

"Iain Campbell Smith is a musical genius and is not afraid to experiment."
Disee Stott, Chaos Magazine, 1999
