"Damnable Practises mines its wide variety of sources well, and makes convincing and valuable arguments about music in broadside ballads."
- Megan E. Palmer, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
"...there is plenty of food for thought in Williams’s book, which with its emphasis on music’s communicative powers in particular does indeed fill a lacuna in ballad scholarship."
- Penelope Gouk, University of Manchester
"Williams’s expertise in music history brings a new and fruitful dimension to the field of gender and performance studies and opens some interesting areas for further investigation." -- Judith Bonzol, The University of Sydney, Parergon
