"The Turtle Island Quartet is its own invention, and the members embrace it."
- Kevin Wilt, Palm Beach Daily News
"So goes the TISQ musical M.O., sparkly and fresh while also sophisticated and deeply musical,
and full of effective low-meets-high cultural maneuvering."
- Joseph Woodard, Santa Barbara News Press
"Jazz music and string instruments do not usually go together unless you are the Turtle Island Quartet."
- Randall G. Mielke, Elgin Courier News
