“Jay D Clark is heading south to team up with local act Treehouse for a roots reggae/funk jam designed to inspire hot Caribbean vibes, and a chilled out night of thinking man's music - both acts have plenty to say if you listen closely. ”

“Most musicians will tell you that every time they step on stage they feel like they’re starting a new adventure. This feeling of freshness is more like a fact of life for up-and-coming roots/reggae/rock artist Jay D Clark. The Philadelphia native... is set to play more than a dozen dates, each time performing in a new city with a different band backing him up.”
- Chris Mowder, Listen Up Myrtle Beach (Jan 19, 2011)
“In 1982, I saw B. F. Skinner give his pessimistic "Why are we not acting to save the world?" speech about the likely failure of our technology of behavior to stop disaster scenarios from prevailing. At the macro level, I find Clark to be a rock and roll prophet of our time.”
- Dr. Richard Weissman, Media Bureau blog (Aug 27, 2009)
“There were a lot of great people at the Stir Fry Music Revival ... but one of the nicest was Jay D Clark.... That is exactly what is delivered. The music has a smooth reggae flavor with lyrics that make you think.”
- King Arthur.com (Aug 31, 2009)
“Jay D Clark's style is really unique... infusing all that is traditional and inventive in one package... the Philly sound and Jay D Clark simply takes it up a notch... he always has this sensible personality... no one artist that holds any style close to his, he is that outstanding...”
- Jonathan Olivier, Evol (Malaysia) (Sep 23, 2008)
“Philadelphia Union now have an unofficial team song. No, not a supporters group chant. A rock song, by legit musicians. And it’s pretty good. ”
- Dan Walsh, Philly Soccer Page (Jan 16, 2010)

- Joe Osborne, Philanthem (Jul 16, 2009)
