The New York Times called him "NYC's hipster playwright" and said "Mr. Jarrow’s songs are catchy, straight-up melodic rock with a strong beat."
The New Yorker wrote, “Mr. Jarrow is the kind of writer who likes to provoke people."
The Village Voice wrote, “Jarrow is a playwright both droll and humane" and praised his "pop rock scores, irony so thick it's spoon edible, [and] unexpected tenderness."
The New York Sun wrote, “Jarrow's rapidly growing body of work proves that just because something is entertaining doesn't mean it's trivial.”
The LA Times called him “an iconoclast” and called Scientology Pageant "lethally gleeful... an instant cult classic."
Time Out New York called Kyle "a weird but endearing dramatist" and called Hostage Song "a devastatingly poignant, strangely philosophical meditation on salvation that just happens to sport a sick downbeat."
The New York Post called Scientology Pageant "a modern classic."
Variety says his writing has "antic charm."
Curtain Up wrote "Jarrow's writing is messy, giddy and poignant, and at its best, all three at once. Most importantly, Jarrow's work continues to prove that he is not afraid of playing with fire."
Boston's Weekly Dig wrote "Jarrow's melodies are insanely catchy... [he's] a Brooklyn-based whiz kid."
Paper Magazine called his band The Fabulous Entourage "Entrancing... it's as if the Scissor Sisters and Hedwig got together to cover old Meat Loaf songs. In other words, it's absolutely fabulous."
