”One strength of Bradley Joseph as an artist has been his keen ability to write inspiring music with appropriately titled songs that express that thought non-verbally. ...There is no doubting that Bradley Joseph holds up the legacy of Solo Journey in fine fashion. There are no diminishing returns here, just attributes of elegance, grace and beauty. That said, 'The Journey Continues' has a wonderfully calming effect that will blissfully wash away your cares and concerns.” (Review: “The Journey Continues”. Michael Debbage. Wind and Wire Magazine)
”The influence of years of touring with Yanni is apparent in the richness of Joseph’s sound, but his musical voice is his own.” (Review: “One Deep Breath”. Kathy Parsons. Solo Piano Publications)
”...all the songs are solid compositions and are performed with sincerity, grace, and an abundance of technique...” (Review: “One Deep Breath”. Bill Binkelman. Wind and Wire Magazine)
”Instead of attempting to fuse elements of different cultures like everyone else, he chose to rely on what he knows best - simple arrangements with assured piano playing.” (Review: “In the Heart of everyone”. Yeoh Wee Tech. ”The News Paper” - Singapore)
