Hed-Mag: Preston, England
...Pete Shukoff is a skilled musician and lyricist first and-foremost - this is no stand-up comic hawking round a battered acoustic for laffs. The delivery is first-class, the content consistently forthright and devastatingly hilarious.

Riverfront Times - St Louis, MO: Critick�s Pick
Beware the joke band. Unless they're the rare beasts who combine senses of humor with musical chops, the chuckles will eventually wear off, leaving you with a dusty CD on the shelf... Nice Peter's songs stand up, even under repeated listening, and you are left with something fresh, funny, and stick-to-your-brain catchy.

If the smartass rock band Tenacious D were a little less r-a-w-k and a bit more Weezer, they would be Nice Peter. This act�s demo, which serendipitously made its way across Night & Day�s desk, was an instant hit, sending the editor into immediate fits of laughter.

Nice Peter is what the fans were screaming on Friday Night at the Note in Chicago. Definitely the highlight of the weekend, Nice Peter improvised through half of the set by riffing off the crowd and holding down the music with three chord progressions�never seen a guy win over a crowd like Nice Peter.

All Ages Zine: CD Review: Songs For Moms
Nice Peter is a musician/comedian that is a must have if you are a fan of Stephen Lynch. I was laughing non-stop as Nice Peter sang about being a gangster in �True Gangster� and that was only the beginning. The lyrics continue to get better as the CD goes on. �Spanglish� tells the tale of meeting a girl at a Mexican restaurant that doesn�t speak English, and you know where this heads. Yep, a love song for this girl written completely in Spanglish. My personal faves from the album come in the last two songs, If You Really Love Me and I Quit, You Fat Mother Fucker, an inspiring song about telling your boss to shove it. While the lyrics are wonderful, the music is what draws you in.

Perfect Porridge: Songs for Moms - CD Review
It's Weezer meets Tenacious D; it's Weird Al meets Adam Sandler; but it's funnier than all of that, because it's Pete Shukoff (aka Nice Peter) -- and he's a real life dude from Chicago writing instant classics on his album, Songs for Moms.

If you like a good pop song with hilarious, quirky, and occasionally dirty lyrics, you're going to love Nice Peter. Trained at the Improv Olympic in Chicago, Nice Peter not only has an incredible musical comedy album here, his interactive, spontaneous live shows are rumored to be that perfect blend of humor and tunage.

Nice Peter: Toeing the line between madness and greatness ... and making your little sister blush. Turns out, there�s no need to be afraid. Not really. Pete Shukoff is, indeed, superiorly nice and even initially shy, with a penchant for politics and onstage madness. Shukoff, who came to Chicago in 2001 to "make it" in improv, tends to walk the line between seemingly utter madness and obsession to detail. Where half of his songs, many of them cute and quirky with political and liberal undertones, are exhaustively practiced, the other half are completely improvised onstage (and are just as hilarious).�
