"Tom Chapin once again proves why he is one of the top children's performers. His strengths - creative lyrics, imaginative arrangements, and a smooth, child-friendly voice - are all in evidence here. This recording is not only one of Chapin's best ever, but it is also one of the best recordings of the year." School Library Journal

"From nosy neighbors and street fairs to friendly, sniffing dogs, aspects of small-town life are described with warmth, affection, and a lot of humor on Tom Chapin's best recording in years." Child

"As expected, it's another great one by Tom Chapin: his latest CD, In My Hometown. Chapin has created such terrific music for kids for so long that I'm afraid I sometimes take him for granted. He has raised the bar so high that other artists pale in comparison. Chapin may be the finest creator of children's music performing today. Do yourself a favor and add In My Hometown to your family's collection." Metrokids
