No Depression     It’s my contention that After the Party is the best album released so far this year.- Peter Blackstock No Depression

Grateful Web          Throughout After The Party’s ten tracks, Leslie Mendelson crafts a distinctive folk-rock, pop-Americana flavor, evoking the sounds of Laurel Canyon, but with the downtown grit and sharp wit of Brooklyn, the city she has called home for over two decades now. There's a refreshing realness and effortless musicality that feels both nostalgic and new on songs like "Rock And Roll On The Radio," "Signs Of Life," and "I Know A Lot Of People." The album’s first single "Other Girls" is an intoxicating twist of aural voyeurism mixed with a healthy dose of sexual openness. Other standout tracks, "Have a Little Heart," "The Good Life" and the title track offer warm musings on a life worth living and a newfound appreciation for the little things. – Grateful Web

GLIDE      Caustic Commentary: Leslie Mendelson finds new ways to package her pop prowess on After the Party. The new album employs jazzy arrangements just as much as folksy tropes, making her fourth album a testament to her poetic songwriting and artistic diversity. “Keep A Little Light On” is a confessional tune with Mendelson crooning over a minimal arrangement for a jazz-pop ballad that touches the soul. – Glide Magazine

"After the Party is a testament to her poetic songwriting and artistic diversity.” – Ryan Dillon / Glide Magazine
