Katz has "a distinctive voice and a clear mastery of the medium...[with a] delightful ability to use her images wordlessly to create witty and tender stories. Her expressive figures communicate human situations and conditions that stimulate and satisfy the imagination. Her sensitivity to the pacing of and the relationship between multiple and sequencial images is superb."
  - Roberta Waddell, then Curator of Prints, New York Public Library, NY

"Babette Katz is...a pantomime humorist...YARN is a gleeful little visual tale about an industrious old woman and a pair of knitting needles...AT THE BEACH, a darker tale, turns classic tragedy into a comic book.
  - Nancy Princenthal, Print Collector's Newsletter

  - Wm. J. Dane, then Supervising Librarian, Special Collections, Newark Public Library, NJ

  - Kate Jennings, Greenwich News

  - the late M.J. Gladstone, then Editor-in-Chief for the Publishing Center for Cultural Resource
