"He was fantastic. Performing his own songs with his excellent guitar playing kept the audience wanting more. In the intimacy of our living room, there isn't a bad seat to be found, great sightlines — and the sound was perfect." - Tim Cameron, Home Routes Tour, Ashern, Manitoba
"He is an engaging performer as is evident from his CDs and videos. Over the last four decades he has toured extensively and is a veteran of many coffeehouses, house concerts, concert halls and folk festivals."
"David Bradstreet is an engaging reminder of the best of 1970s acoustic folk-rock. It ("David Bradstreet A&M sp9026-CD") sounds surprisingly fresh 25 years later, and via the Internet, it has become a classy collectible." - Greg Quill, Toronto Star
"It is interesting to hear Bradstreet now. Though his songs haven't changed in theme or texture, it's easy to detect the influence his music has had on later artists like Jane Siberry, who in turn influenced current diva Sarah McLachlan. Bradstreet still plays guitar with a dexterity reminiscent of another jazz-reared folkie, Bruce Cockburn..." - Craig MacInnis, Hamilton Spectator
"On a few rare occasions one hears a song that touches a chord and becomes instantly memorable. For this reviewer that occasion took place when I heard David Bradstreet perform Beresford Street (Concertina Man) at the Mariposa Folk Festival some years ago. It was simple, poignant and joyous. Enough to make you shed your jaded outlook, if only for a moment, and be transported back to childhood innocence. Without a doubt, a classic folk song in any era." - David Bray, DABzine
