“Typical.  You wait 47 years for a Hollywood Stars album and two come along at the same time. Okay, maybe Hey! LA! is two years after Starstruck but that's close as dammit to "same time" in Hollywood Starland.”

​

– Shindig!

​

"...the Hollywood Stars return with their second album in a very late career comeback. As with 2024’s Starstruck, the L.A. quintet doesn’t bother with incorporating trendy production tricks or even modern influences into their glam-frosted, hard rocking power pop. The band just writes catchy tunes and records them with the energy of teenage would-be rock stars..."

- Big Takeover

​

"What we have now is a band firing on all cylinders, remaining creative and earning praise not only from this site’s parent magazine but also from publications like *Shindig* and *Classic Rock*. They have two addictive albums to their name: 2024’s *Starstruck* and the recently released *Hey! L.A.!* "

- La Ruta 66

​

"...the musicians’ energetic performances defy their age... Hail the kings, indeed."
