“The rich tones of De Lorenzo’s lilting voice (on the CD "I Know More Now") pull the listener in and enhance every cut on a gilded album which presents still more found treasures by a singer who deserves to be better known.” - John Hoglund
“Although I saw a few good tributes to Sinatra this year, nobody brought such fizzy joy to the centennial occasion as De Lorenzo. A consummate musician who makes you feel he's having the time of his life every moment he's on stage, which only adds to your enjoyment.” - Kevin Scott Hall
“There are good shows and there are great shows, but once in a blue moon you’re at a cabaret and you know something extraordinary is going on.” - Beverly Creasey
“Brian De Lorenzo is on the small list of today’s great masculine voices.” - Ron Forman
“Although the title of Brian De Lorenzo's Found Treasures refers to the songs it contains, the cabaret singer is one himself. Possessing a clear tenor which he uses with earnest emotional intensity, De Lorenzo sings with complete commitment.” - Max O. Preeo
— Show Music
“(On the Original New York Cast Recording of “Made in America: Vaudeville Songs”) it’s the sole male member of the troupe who gets the lion's share of the material. That's fine by me, as he's the versatile and strong singer Brian De Lorenzo. The guy has a real flair for the period style. Whether turning on the charm with a showy bit of flash or a sentimental ballad with his pure, high voice, he's perfect casting.” - Rob Lester
