“Dog on Fleas has been performing together for several years now, and it shows on Cranberry Sauce Flotilla, their third CD for kids. Recorded mostly with a single microphone in band leader Dean Jones's living room in upstate New York, the songs exude loads of organic vitality. The group's use of fiddles, tubas, mandolins, acoustic guitars, and an upright piano, combined with their down-home song selections, will make you feel like you're listening to The Band, playing at Big Pink. Bassist John Hughes's "Happy," fiddler/mandolin player David Levine's "Little Bird," and guitarist Jones's title track could be the springboard for a greatest-hits compilation; the songwriting is that strong. The band enthusiastically tackles traditional tunes like "Weevily Wheat" and add their own earthy touch to standards like Hoagy Carmichael's "Lazy Bones" and Woody Guthrie's "Bling-Blang." This is wonderful music from a fantastically talented group.”

Dog on Fleas- Cranberry Sauce Flotilla

“In a more perfect world, Dog on Fleas would be among the best-known names in music for families….When I Get Little may be my favorite Dog on Fleas album…Dog on Fleas is a band in which each member shines equally…Like all great bands for kids, the music of Dog on Fleas works for all ages. When this outstanding band takes its place among the great names of kids’ music, you’ll be proud to say ‘I knew them when.’”
Kathy O’Connell, Metro Kids Sound Off, WXPN, Philadelphia

“When I Get Little is a delightfully eclectic array of unique tunes tasting of bluegrass, Cajun, World, and straightforward rock. The album includes some real treasures, including ‘The Coo-Coo’, which boasts exotic balafons and djun-djun drums’ the ragtimey ‘Moon Song’; and the folksy, a cappella ‘Honeybaby.’”
Mothering Magazine, January/February 2007 issue

“What's most shocking about this talented quintet is not how adeptly they surf from one genre to another (one minute you're kicking up your heels at a hootenanny; the next you're toe-tapping on a Mississippi riverboat or swing-dancing at a Jazz Age supper club). Instead, it's the fact that When I Get Little is this group's fourth CD: After rollicking along to the call-and-response eco-anthem "Trees," or the ska-tinged Humpty Dumpty tale "What's Behind the Wall," you'll surely question why you haven't heard of them before. In this golden age of children's music, Dog on Fleas deserves to finally emerge from under the radar.”
Christopher Healy, Cookie Magazine

Dean Jones’ solo CD, Napper’s Delight was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered as one of the best CDs in 2008.

When I Get Little is #7 on Zooglobble’s Favorite Kids' Albums of 2006 “Fans of Dan Zanes' music should especially check out this album…you'll find it a vibrant and joyous experience. Highly recommended.”
