- Album review ★★★★ “gamesters of the highest order” – John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald, 2014.
- Album review ★★★★ “The music often combines aspects of free jazz — mostly rhythmic, albeit often in odd tempos — with contemporary classical ideas, reminiscent of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Exemplifying these ideas are four tracks entitled Tacet Suite…” – John McBeath, The Weekend Australian, 2014.
- Album review ★★★1/2 ‘fountain of spontaneity…intuitive interplay’ – Peter Wockner, Jazz and Beyond, 2014.
- “‘Reaston, who is interested in latin and African guitar styles as well as use of serialism and indeterminacy brings an individual and fresh sound.” – Tim Rollinson, The Music Trust, 2014.

- Album review ★★★1/2 “The orchestration of the leader David Reaston encompasses moments of metal chaos, lucid telepathy and fluid swing” – Peter Wockner, Limelight Magazine, 2010
- “I love the fluidity , the intensity and the musicality of the compositions and playing on this cd (10 Guitar Project). ” – Lionel Loueke
- “Love the ‘10 guitar project’ CD. It’s so innovative and has both old and new school guitarist qualities. The concept is unique, the playing is ‘10 fold’ (no pun intended) and the compositions are exquisite…” – Art Phillips

After Now (David Reaston, 2004) [composition and guitar credits]

- “I like the fact that a young guitarist is keeping the art of solo and duo guitar playing alive and well. Your playing is great- keep doing whatever it is you’re doing- its working!” – Gary Solt, Musicians Institute, Hollywood, CA (May 2004)
