All Music Guide: “This is first and foremost a pop album…But what makes it a unique recording is David Goldman's implementation of a wide variety of worldwide folk influences. He seems to have accurately captured the vocal nuances of Japanese, Indian, and Mexican music as well as the stylings of American blues and Celtic music. He is joined by a large supporting cast…Through all the stylistic changes and shuffling of personnel on this album, there exists the undeniable unifying component -- Goldman's voice. He has a pure, accommodating, and comforting voice that gives credence to his globetrotting tendencies…” Dave Sleger 
 

“The word eclectic is often misused as describing a style. More accurately it is a method of choosing the best components selected from diverse sources, systems, or styles. David's "Summer with Juliet" is an eclectic trove of genuine and provocative styles that flow like honey from the bee. On this remarkable CD we take a romantic journey across the world. Beginning with an Americana song that feels as familiar as its title, Blue Collar Town. Through dynamic and curious episodes of the Blues, World, Latin, Country, Asian, and Jazz, we explore and experience the enchanting music of David Goldman. David's clear and resonating voice adds dimension to his songwriting genius. He writes and sings in many languages exquisitely. A true troubadour and romantic, his songs are spontaneous yet consistently thoughtful. The musical accompaniment is top rate. The production flawless. It has been a real joy to play "Summer with Juliet" in my car as I drive on my quest for antiques and art. Like this incredible CD, it is a glorious quest indeed.” --Rick Rock, Founder, Tribes Hill News and Hammond House, Valhalla, New York www.TribesHill.com 

"I have not met anyone from the West who attained such fluency and stylistic excellence in such a short time...” -- Late SUNY New Paltz Literature Professor Amiya Chakravarty, former literary secretary to India’s Nobel Prize-winning author and composer, Rabindranath Tagore, evaluating David Goldman’s two years of music and language study in India.

"An appreciative audience gave singer/guitarist David Goldman resounding applause and calls for encores at the Paramount Center for the Arts at his opening for the Rippingtons concert. Accompanied by percussionist Herman Stephens, David's warm tones and flair for singing his repertoire of Blues, Spanish and Brazilian songs-including a few originals-got the evening off to a great start." -- Gladys Muller, Director, Paramount Center for the Arts in Peekskill, NY
