"I’ll confidently go out on a limb and say that Pillow Talk may very well be named one of 2011's “Best Of” albums. The vocals and harmonies are flawless and gorgeous, the strings are ridiculously catchy and dazzling, the keys add a brilliant substance, and the drums do a fine job at guiding each song (and your feet). This 15-track album is one of anthemic proportions; it's impossible to not sing along. After all is said and done, Wild Child's talent is undeniable." -Indie Shuffle (read full article)

"Let me assure you, Pillow Talk is one of the rare releases from 2011 that begs to be played in its entirety. From the lulling yet heart-wrenching ballads to the feisty foot-stomping numbers composed of twang and southern grit, this album is of anthemic proportions. Wild Child is exactly what their moniker suggests -- untamed and youthful in their melodies, spirited and candid in their lyrics." -Bit Candy (read full article)

Ward's She and Him have graced iPod and Volkswagen commercial soundtracks and created an industry of cute, with precious, jazzy vocals and delicate acoustic backing bands. At first listen, Austin's Wild Child, with its sweet vocals and ukulele-driven acoustic music, falls solidly into this category. Listen closer, and things are much darker, and funnier, than they seem. Wild Child's debut album is among the more interesting material to come out of Austin lately." -Austin Statesman (read full article)
