HAMILTON SPECTATOR: "He can sing with a voice that goes from a rich baritone to a breathy falsetto through a sharp trumpet-like tenor. He can invest that voice with a wealth of shadings that help him tell a story with a song's lyrics like few people in show business today. There is no finer male jazz singer alive today than Michael Danso" - hugh fraser -

PORTFOLIO MAGAZINE: "Danso's gifts defy description, his vocal range is immense, his stage presence is commanding, his footwork and body movements smooth and powerful,,the music was awesome" - john ware -

REGINA LEADER POST: "His remarkable voice combines the warmth and silky soulfulness of Nat King Cole with the panache of Sammy Davis. That's just for starters, because he has a range of four octaves and three notes plus the startling ability to hold a note to a point where he really shouldn't be breathing any more" - andy cooper -

CALGARY HERALD: "He sings My Funny Valentine in full romantic tones with a strong, clear, commanding voice making even that clumsy old love song sweetly engaging" -roman cooney-

THE LEDGER STAR - VIRGINIA BEACH: "Michael Danso was all over the stage, all over the scale, and all over the music..The highlight of the set, though, was "Sophisticated Lady". In the song's last phrase, he bumped the climactic last note up an octave and held it, spellbindingly, long after the orchestra stopped playing, then tapered down to a whispered close. Scottish born Danso has a rich baritone voice, sometimes brassy, but sometimes silky like Mel Torme" - charles huckabee -
