"From the very first track, I knew this was a music product that our listeners would enjoy,' said Rosetta Hines-Loving, Program Director at WGPR (107.5) Detroit. "When played, listeners call and inquire about the artist." "'I've been doing this for 15 years, and the interesting thing is the way it's being received', ..."The stations that are on to him, really dig it.', says Michael Moryc."

Daily Tribune - Joe Ballor, Associate Editor

"With an impeccable ear and an obvious mastery of the guitar, Lawrence Barris has put together a set of delicately written and performed originals. Barris' display of technical clout is a swift vehicle for his expressive soloing, ...Overall, Barris' self-titled full length CD has every element that musicians with twice the catalogue strive for, and this debut is as promissing as it could possibly be."
Real Detroit - Nick Aarons, Music Critic

"(Lawrence Barris' debut CD) ...puts me in the mind of George Benson's 'Breezin' - aiming for airplay, but nimble and dignified."
