"Brown's album ought to be assessed as more thana jazz record. Instead, it would be better thought of as the work of a singer/songwriter who leans towards the language of jazz but is not entirely defined by it." John Kelman All About Jazz, "Peter's consummate keyboard skills are still front and centre ... Franklin Street ... benefits from the longstanding musical relationship forged between members of the trio." Kris Riendeau The Humm, "Peter Brown Trio plans to release new CD Franklin Street in Carleton Place May 25" Jeff Maguire EMC News, "Franklin Street ... is a masterful work that both showcases and profiles the incredible talent that is Peter Brown. Musically, the collection is jazz in nature but features a full range of styles and influences that speak of the blues, showtime and class." Lyle Dillabough Mississippi Weekender, "Opening with a gospel-inflected version of "Amazing Grace", Brown quickly established that he's a local treasure..." John Kelman All About Jazz, "Think of a cross between A.J. Croce and Bill Evans - the pianist, not the saxophonist, and you've got Peter Brown. He's created a body of music that's plain delightful, his own compositions in particular." T. Bruce Wittet Muzik ETC, Sept./Oct. 2003
