) *"The band's "Because I'm Awesome" single was one of my favourites of 2007" (Lorne Thomson, the Music Fix, 2008) *"A hit song is what separates one band from thousands of others. The Dollyrots gained acclaim with their song "Because I’m Awesome". It's an appropriate tune for the sardonic pop punk band from Los Angeles to gain entry onto music’s national stage." (Tim Parsons, Tahoe Daily Tribune, 2008) *"'Because I’m Awesome' is the first single and is so catchy that you’ll find yourself tapping it out all day." (Bill James, Monsters and Critics, 2007)
