| "David Hughes is an exciting young bass player that is capable of playing any musical style from funky jazz to symphonic classical. And, in addition to being a perfect sideman, he is also an accomplished leader and soloist. It is a pleasure to have him as a member of my band." |
| "...terrific melodies, funky bass lines, and great horns which take you through an energetic journey"
"...Swoosh is a slam dunk! David Hughes is a name that we all need to remember" |
| "...Hughes delivers funk-laden grooves, guitar-like chordal voicings, and many horn-influenced solos. Although Hughes' virtuostic ability as a bass player is completely apparent throughout this recording, it never obscures the emotionally evocative experience he is attempting to convey to the listener."
"Hughes proves that he is a premier bassist who definitely deserves wider acknowledgment." |
| "...the Crusaders' standard "Always There" was the set's standout, with six-string electric bassist David Hughes bringing guitar sensibilities into the chords as he went beyond providing mere foundation." |
| "...His six-string instrument definitely gives him the room to redefine the jazz fusion genre. ..features the stellar guest appearances of David Benoit, Wilton Felder, Greg Mathieson and Allen Hinds." |
| "...jazz fusion has seldom ever been more expressive, more engaging and personable...David Hughes' album is one to be excited about." |
| "...David Benoit hasn't changed the style of his piano playing. So this tune could be right off his album "Fuzzy Logic."...Millertime shows David in the role of a deserving Marcus-Miller-successor. Very convincing. A top notch bass player." |

"...Hughes has a very beautiful tone and is a skilful soloist both technically and melodically, in other words, his playing reveals great competence." |
