| When You Smile (CD)
“Singer-songwriter Eric Ode’s clever lyrics, gentle wit and compassion for the uncertainties in a kids’ life are a winning combination.” - Parents’ Choice Foundation, 2008
"Eric Ode’s When You Smile is a fourteen song feel-good collection of upbeat and positive kidz-view observations that are clever, never condescend and most of all, spike the fun-meter and rock with the best. I think this is my favorite Eric Ode album thus far…until the next one."
- John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
"Songwriter/poet Eric Ode has assembled another winner... A welcome addition to Ode's body of work." - School Library Journal, 2008
"This witty CD moves Eric Ode up a weight class, with interesting and appealing pop compositions driven along with tons of scrapers, shakers, noisemakers and handclaps. Ode’s goofy and friendly, half-spoken and half-sung, vocal style captivates kids." - Parenthood.com

Welcome to the Workshop (DVD)
"A grinning Eric Ode, guitar in hand, sings and dances his way through this slick musical video for tots. Ode's tunes are catchy, the lyrics are kid pleasers, and the featured children appear to be enjoying the romp. Intermixing with the songs are silly skits with a big puppet cat named Scratch. Sophisticated camera work and varied visuals will please adults; kids will especially enjoy the silliness." - Booklist, 2007
"Ode has a gentle, endearing way with his audience – he subtly educates as he entertains with catchy, singable tunes that will stick with you. This DVD should easily stand up to repeated viewings and not drive parents batty." - John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
"Lovely mix of humor, topics, blend of cultures, ages and genders. Eric Ode is a very creative entertainer who knows his audience. Style is gentle and relaxing. Kids just loved this DVD. They danced and laughed along." - Coalition for Quality Children's Media

"With jazzy song stylings and an emphasis on humor, singer-songwriter Eric Ode and his outstanding multi-instrument band serve up engaging songs and poems about an elephant's everlasting bubble bath, a don't-try-this-at-home hiccup cure and a mutually beneficial arrangement between a forgetful camel and a slow-moving turtle." - Parents' Choice Foundation, 2005
"Eric Ode again strikes all the right chords in this, his fifth album, by combining message-filled lyrics and silly songs with rollicking rhythms. An extremely enjoyable collection of songs that the whole family will love." - School Library Journal, July 2005
"It's a toss-up whether the 12 wacky cuts on this album are poems set to music or original songs with lyrics reminiscent of poets Jack Prelutsky or Shel Silverstein. Either way, the high-energy humor and bouncy beat will tickle funny bones and set toes tapping." - Booklist, June 2005
"Seasoned children's performer Eric Ode brings to the table a complete feast of energy-filled new songs and fun lyrics that totally invite and encourage participation. Mom and dad may even embarrass themselves by dancing 'round the condo…" - John Wood, Kidzmusic.com.

Grandpa's Truck (CD)
A 2003 Parents' Choice Recommended Award Winning album!
"Farm life is captured in these 12 jaunty tunes sung by Eric Ode. Instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, and electric guitar combined with clever lyrics bring energy and excitement to the songs performed in a variety of musical styles. Many of them beg for audience participation, such as "Two Hands,"...or the title song, where children will eagerly sing along with all of the sounds made by grandpa's truck. This entertaining collection would be fun to share with youngsters in a group setting." - School Library Journal, 2003
"...a playful jaunt to the farm where (Eric and the kids) encounter a somersaulting goat, a scruffy barn cat and Grandpa's creaky old truck ("Ooom, chugga, chugga, pop!") Along with the fun, Ode celebrates the wonder of growing things and new life." - Parents' Choice Foundation
"Eric Ode keeps the tempo up and the beat bouncing in this collection of 12 farmyard songs. The backup instruments create a lively, jivey mood that matches Ode's energetic silliness." - Booklist, 2003
