"Robinson's sense of timing, phrasing, form, and flow guide listeners toward his alternative vision." - Keyboard (1991)

"Robinson clearly has musical skills, and is following an iconoclastic path much like Schoenberg and Cage before him." - Gardena Valley News (1992)

"No telling where he's going to spin off to, but he's an original." - Village Voice (1994)

"Making use of alternate tunings, and blending tradition and technology, Robinson is able to transcend cultural and spiritual boundaries." - NewMusicBox (2002)

"Unique artistic voices are rare indeed, but if anyone can claim to possessing one its Michael Robinson."

"The result is a sensual music whose luscious sonorities dazzle the ear and captivate the mind." - textura (2015)
