Tape Op Magazine: If I controlled what's supposed to be popular radio she'd be in regular rotation.

CMJ New Music Report
Hazard's full-length debut Little Airplane glides along on folk-pop guitar riffs, atmospheric production and electronic touches complimentary to a moonlit stroll with a flirtatious friend. Hazard sings in a rough-edged sugarcane soprano, reminiscent of Juliana Hatfield by way of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval. Hazily paced and lilting.

Boston Globe
"Little Airplane,"shows an artist comfortable mixing pop and electronica, and, even jazz. It's a lovely album - rich texturally and emotionally - with Hazard's breathy, seductive, sometimes electronically treated, voice emerging through the intricate instrumental layers. Think of Hazard as you might Beth Orton or Hazard's friend Mary Timony.
