"Singing folk [is] like riding a bike for Elle Carpenter."
-The Joplin Globe, MO USA
"Elle Carpenter’s music career is an exercise in diversity.. "Life Just Happens to You" [is] a collection of polished Americana and pop in the vein of Mary Chapin Carpenter, an ear-friendly gateway into Americana."
-The Durango Herald CO USA
"Elle Carpenter reminds us of a high-pitched male vocalist in a pop-punk band -- but in a good way. Carpenter's approach to her lyrics and switching up her tone makes it clear none of the songs are by accident."
