Review: New York Herald, 14 June 1865, 4.
“The San Francisco vocalists, at Heller’s Hall, give us, besides Wambold’s really fine tenor solos and Billy Birch’s historic comicalities, some inimitable illustrations, of the style of popular actors, by Charley Backus.”

Review: New York Clipper, 24 June 1865, 86.
“The singing, especially Wambold’s, is as charming as a young lady in strawberry time, and as exhilarating as a mint julep on a hot day.”
