“fiery and eloquent... Allen brings daunting chops, full-bodied tone and melodic sensitivity." - David Adler - Jazz Times Magazine

“The music is full of subtlety. Allen has no seeming limit to his technique, but he always puts it to good musical ends. His lines are full of twists and turns, but I always hear thought and emotion, not just flying fingers." -Budd Kopman, All About Jazz

“There is a true sensuality to the guitarist's sound. -Jim Macnie - Village Voice

“Monster chops, harmonic resourcefulness, strong melodic sense, seamless group interaction, considerable compositional talent and a kick-ass group of talented players." - JazzGuitarLife

“Mr. Allen is a guitarist with a coolly modernistic sensibility, as he demonstrates on a forthcoming album, “Real and Imagined" (Fresh Sound New Talent)." - NY Times
