“We were honored to have “Run Away With Me” included on Dwayne Britton’s debut album. . . Mr. Britton’s intimate, heartfelt performances are young and fresh, and imbued with his own sense of style and personality. We can’t wait to hear what comes next.”
- Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk (“The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown”)
"...It’s really just this simple: when Dwayne Britton opens his mouth to sing, he also opens up his heart. . . .Dwayne’s focused, intent, nuanced interpretations of lyrics reveal[ed] a thoughtful, convincing actor who can find the intimate cabaret communication quotient in a pop song. . . songs like “Why” (wow!) and “Pure Imagination” (his sweetly unspoiled sense of awe could make you believe in Santa Claus — or even true love). The mix: down-to-earth personality and heavenly voice: ideal!"
- Cabaret Scenes
"Dwayne Britton's self-titled debut is a wonderful collection . . . expressive and heartfelt delivery on each song."
- Scott Alan ("Piece")
"Britton exudes like-ability. . ."
- The Press Enterprise
“Britton’s delivery is precise and powerful, as best exemplified in his winning rendition of Tori Amos’ “Baker Baker.”
- OUT.com
"Dwayne Britton employs his smooth voice on a host of standards, and a few lesser-known choices, ultimately creating a memoir in song. . . A solid debut."
- New England Blade

“Dwayne's interpretations come out as communicative rather than navel-gazing self-involvement...He sounds equally convincing on songs that hark back to simple child-friendly innocence and hope... to the more complex, like the very grown-up "Baker Baker" by Tori Amos...Sincerity is the key word here all around, but it isn't insincere sincerity that feels like artificial sweetener...an intimate introspection... an impressive first album.”
