“There's a strange, subtle sort of salvation in Robert's music….It's a picture of playing music as a way of saving one's self from despair. ” - Victor Infante

“‘Mule’ is pretty dang close to perfect. The instrumentation is sharp and arresting….Extraordinarily well-executed….There are some top-notch musicians on this song. The quartet creates a full barrelhouse blues sound, which bristles with energy from the outset. (on “[I Ain’t No] Mule”) ” - Victor Infante

“There’s a little folk, a little soul, a little country, and a healthy portion of blues on this album, but no matter what the ingredients, it’s all rock and roll. ” - Kier Byrnes

““'Searching for Diamonds' is a sterling representation of an artist who is pushing the boundaries of solo acoustic performance while paying homage to the traditions that came before him. He's honed his writing skills and his guitar chops razor sharp, making himself a solo tour-de-force. He adds just the right touch of mandolin, harmonica, and banjo.” ” - Brian M. Owens
