alancross.ca – “This song’s (Let it Flow) a beauty for one of those days when words just won’t quit and all you want to do is slide away on a great bass line”
Nick Wells iBass Magazine UK – “Having developed his own personal style and with a new album pending, Luke’s subliminal bass tones and his use of layered sounds certainly show the bass in a new light, with his often guitar-like playing style subtly guiding each composition”
Gate Magazine – “He is quite simply an incredibly talented player”
biggerthanbeyonce.com – “This guy’s a nose-to-the-grindstone, eyes-to-the-sky kind of musician. The sounds he makes on his lone instrument are astoundingly unique. With one bass, he’s able to compound a musical quality akin to an entire orchestra”
