Dave Mullen Reviews:
"His urgent playing and blistering sense of improvisation on uptempo tracks 'Like Rashaan' ....has a lot of the retro soul sensibilities that drive that genre." - Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide (AMG)
"Mullen's sax is urgent, intense and ultra-expressive."- Ronald Jackson, Jazzreview.com
"Dave Mullen on tenor and soprano saxes comes equally from the David Sanborn and Gato Baarbeieri schools of phrasing and rhythmic pulse, and he has a melodic sensibility on par with Stan Getz as a young musician." - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide (AMG)
