"On Chickaboom! Neilson, a New Zealand resident by-way-of-Canada, proves herself to be the heiress apparent to legendary rockabilly/country queen Wanda Jackson ... The danger with any artist who is deeply rooted in a specific era or genre is that the music could be perceived as kitschy and derivative, rather than as a fresh take on an older style. Neilson transcends this potential dilemma with that huge voice of hers, but also by writing a solid set of songs that manage to cover quite a bit of entertaining ground throughout the brief album".

" ... it's clear that Neilson has a jukebox worth of vocal styles to delve into. No wonder the Man In Black himself recruited Neilson and her fellow musician relatives to be his opening act back in the day - she proved then, as she does on CHICKABOOM!, to be a worthy successor to the Sun Record sound".

"A Canadian based in New Zealand, Tami Neilson has a voice so powerful she could probably sing in one country and be recorded in the other ... With just two tracks that pass the three-minute mark, Neilson said she wanted to make an album of popping firecrackers. This is a veritable Fourth of July display".
