People in the music industry have had some things to say about Jon Davidson and his music. Here are a few of those things.
"Tip Of The Iceberg is Davidson shedding his skin and finding himself, experimenting between a cappella to a drop-tuned 6/8 guitar riff to telephone noises to bizarre shredded vocal effects."
--Music News Nashville
"While he may be best known as the vocalist/guitarist for Crown Point, on his sophomore solo album, Tip Of The Iceberg, of which he played, sang, and programmed every note on the album, Davidson moves away from the guitar-rock/danceable alt. pop of Crown Point and delivers an electro/alternative/indie-pop record of thirteen honest, emotionally raw, yet well-produced songs."

"Tip Of The Iceberg has a great diversity of electronic sounds and rhythms."
--Colt Hartstein, Bulls Radio
"Davidson's album Perfect Cliche is..a highly produced assemblage of alt/rock-tinged radio-friendly pop tracks. Turns out, the dude is also quick-witted and damn good at poking fun at himself."
--Tara Morgan, Boise Weekly
"Portland’s Jon Davidson has a great, slightly gruff baritone voice, plays pretty decent guitar, and can craft a catchy alterna-pop-rock melody with the best of them. CD, you ask? From Jon's mouth to your ears, here comes “Perfect Cliché,” which sounds like classy hard rock, or power ballads without the embarrassing stuff, or, just pretty enough to make the girls swoon yet grungey enough, at times, to make the boys punch your arm. In other words, it’s an engaging pop-rock album, and why this Davidson cat isn’t already like a gazillionaire is beyond us."
--Rob Cullivan, The Portland Tribune
"The dynamics Davidson has at play on this album go from monstrously powerful, emotional, heartfelt powerhouse songs down to almost a whisper. Perfect Cliché is a musical masterpiece that is sure to be the source of your next favorite song."
--Brandon Swift, Swift Reviews
"Davidson can write a pretty catchy alt-rock tune as easily as most of us eat several tacos in one sitting. (Is that just me? Anyway…)"
--Ben Salmon, Bend Bulletin
"Jon’s music ranges from the sentimental love ballads of songs like “What Can I say,” to metal influenced songs like “Finger in the Eye.” The combination of his deep soothing voice and thoughtful lyrics provide the perfect background music to some of life’s most intimate moments."
--Lauren Stair, MuzikReviews.com
"Jon knows his vocal range well and uses it to push his lyrics along without sounding strained or forced. Jon Davidson has what it takes. We're excited to hear what he does next."
--Atlantis Music Festival
"Bright, chiming alt/rock that sounds good on a cold Oregon day." --Michael Mannheimer, Willamette Week
"Jon's music gives me so much inspiration. He puts much thought into his lyrics...I see this rocker having a great future ahead of him."
--Melissa Wiseman, Soundline Magazine
"Davidson's well-crafted songs, active involvement in the local music scene, and socially conscious way of doing business have been mainstays of his success."
--Mark Johnston, Portland Daily Vanguard
"Jon's new album is a poignant, mainstream-capable acoustic rock project. He has a solid dynamic in his vocals and offers lyrics with emotion and purpose."
--Joeryder.com
"Versatile alternative rock that is easy to relate to."
--Lana Bladon, Raisedonindie.com
"See you on Billboard!"
--Crossroad Magazine
"What makes Jon especially appealing is his amazing guitar playing skills, strong vocals, good looks, and overall rock demeanor. He will make you a fan of rock music once again."
