"Darragh is a singer/songwriter with the same vulnerable tenderness in his voice as Chet Baker" - David Rickert, All About Jazz
"Henry’s strength as a composer is his ability to write about situations everyone can identify with”
- Wilbert Sostre, JazzTimes
​
​
"As talented as Darragh is, he absolutely should be smashing photographers' cameras at the airport and interrupting acceptance speeches and requesting outlandish things like ice chests full of white-colored pencils before shows. Alas, he's as kind and polite as his music (and pictures) would lead you to believe that he is."
- Shea Serrano,Houston Press
​
​
"I hear a little Michael Franks, definitely some Harry Connick Jr., and even a bit of Bob Dorough in Darragh's tone and phrasing. He's also a fine piano player, and remains a formidable trombonist as well." - Chris Becker, Culture Map
