Reception[edit | edit source]A review of Bring in L.A. Record said that, with regard to lyricism, Oberg "has all [the] lightly mocking wiseass of Noël Coward plus a sentimental side very much in the old Master’s line, if completely beyond most of his imitators past and present." Robert Christgau also reviewed Bring favorably, giving it an A− grade. In his review, he wrote, "Delivering nine expertly wrought songs in 27 minutes, [Oberg] plays acoustic piano over G-B-D with jazz gestalt, zero-plus solos, and a beat more martial than swinging." ChicagoPride.com contributor Gregg Shapiro wrote that Oberg "deserves a place alongside contemporaries such as Ben Folds and Aimee Mann," writing that on her songs, "Her lived-in voice is that of experience and she maintains a singular sense of humor." Mic's Dan Weiss named Oberg's song "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" one of the 16 best anti-Donald Trump songs of 2017.
