About her style, the New York Times wrote "Phoebe Kreutz's chanteusey delivery and comic writing were genuinely funny", and The New Yorker called her "The kingpin of the joke folk scene". As a lyricist, she's written for "Johnny and the Sprites", "Dance Dance Revolution", "The Water Coolers". She's also working on two musicals, "The Dirty Hippie Jam Band Project" with Dan Israel and "Thanks!" with Gary Adler.
