"Music festival gives a reason to say Bravo Niagara!"
— Toronto Star
"This was that kind of jazz festival - the Bordeaux-sipping, dreamy ballads kind, something of lovely social fantasy not far in spirit from that evoked by the "dear gentle folk of Newport," as sung in That's Jazz by Bing Crosby in the 1956 film High Society. In broader terms, here was a reminder of jazz's golden afterglow in the 1960s and early 70s, when the music still made money, when compact festivals from Newport, R.I., to Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera, were well-curated at the start."
— Peter Goddard, The Globe and Mail
"A grand festival to celebrate the genius of Oscar Peterson"
— Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
"...what a festival should be about, the discovery and celebration of genuine artistry"
— William Littler, Toronto Star
