"Soriano’s music is gorgeous. He displays an emotionally powerful voice, versatility with bachata’s classic style of guitar playing, and compelling original compositions about love and loss."
- Dr. Deborah Pacini Hernandez, author, “Bachata: a social history of Dominican popular music”

"Joan Soriano's skills on the six-string glisten without being flashy. He has an appealing style, at once declarative and quietly poetic."
- Milo Miles on NPR’s “Fresh Air”
