"Is there room for yet one more singer-songwriter in this world? If it's Jenny Reynolds, I'd say yes. She writes intelligently emotional songs, her music is melodic and catchy, and her voice is rich and compelling. She plays acoustic guitar, and with her talented backing band, rocks out when the mood suits her, and still can be meditatively quiet, as on the heartbreakingly beautiful 'Bet on the Wind.'" - Bostonia Magazine
"...a powerhouse performer..." - Northeast Performer

"Timeless wisdom tells us that home is where the heart is and Elizabeth Wills proves it with beautifully rendered songs of wanderlust and love on her latest album. Produces and engineered by Austin's Mark Hallman, who also plays bass, clarinet, lap steel and accordion, Love Comes Home features an all-star lineup of backing voices from Sara Hickman, BettySoo, Susan Gibson, and Shelley King. Wills chronicles the journeys and joys of counting off "every lonely mile, one by one," on that long ride home to a lover's smile, the helping hands of a "Million Angels" who get us through the darkest hours, and the heartbreak that may come when "timing wins again," as she sings on the album's closer and highlight, "Timing." In love and music, it's all about timing, and this is clearly Elizabeth Wills' time." - Dave Bloom, Texas Music Magazine
"Love Comes Home' is an appropriate title for Wills' newest project. It’s a journey from broken hearts to enjoying and cherishing the time spent with loved ones. If the same old Texas country is sounding like a broken record ready to be tossed out, Elizabeth Wills will point you in a different direction." - Brenda Rushing - Pegasus News (Dallas)
"Singer-songwriter Wills' new album is the first one produced by the nonprofit arm of the intimate La Grange venue the Bugle Boy. And the organization's instincts are right on. Wills delivers an enjoyable listening experience, brimming with confidence and sweetness." - Hector Saldaña, San Antonio Express-News
"Her instruments are her lovely voice, her songwriting pen and her talent for the piano and the six-string. You can hear her sonic beauty on folk-pop cuts from Love Comes Home, her latest album." - Mario Tarradell, Music Critic, Dallas Morning News
"Elizabeth Wills is one of those artists that you can discover over and over again and love her every time. She has the package deal all wrapped up, great songs, voice and instrumentation delivered with ease and grace. She will definitely be back to play our Festivals in Texas!" - Dalis Allen, Producer, Kerrville Folk Festival
"Every time I hear Elizabeth Wills perform, regardless of the venue, I say to myself, ‘What the hell is she still doing playing here?’ She is one of those artists we all brag about eventually when we tell our friends, ‘Yea, but I heard her years ago.’ Don’t miss the opportunity to hear her now while you can afford it!" - Paul Barker, Barker House Concerts
"Certain voices wrap around the listener's heart with instant familiarity and warmth, like a long lost friend you've been waiting to meet...that's what Elizabeth Wills' voice brings to mind. In regards to her songwriting, her song "in the broken" captures the essence of everything a song should be: heartfelt, clarified intimacy delivered with sincere conviction needing nothing more than elizabeth's warm voice and acoustic guitar arpeggios." - Sara Hickman, 2010 Texas State Musician
"The crowd was hers from the start...Her lush voice calls to mind female singer/songwriter greats such as Carly Simon, Shawn Colvin and Sarah McLachlan." - Jenny Block, Dallas Morning News
"Elizabeth Wills voice is at minimal angelic and can be best described as viscerally intoxicating." - Lane Gosnay, Founder, The Bugle Boy
"Elizabeth Wills is a great listen when you are alone and need to unwind. She sings gracefully about love, romance, and being thankful for what you've been given. Most artists these days sing of misery and despair and it's nice to see the polar opposite of that. Finally, someone who sees the world as the glass half full." - Samantha Jones, Static Multimedia
"You know something is special when it breaks your heart and tugs at your fragile heartstrings, yet exquisitely captures your every emotion. This rings true for singer-songwriter Elizabeth Wills’ music." - Sheila Dichoso, Campus Circle
"...rich, wise vocal style" - Jimmy Fowler, Fort Worth Weekly
