"Intelligent and self-assured, with a sure technique and a rare sensitivity. He created and inner life is his playing of Bach. A thinking and caring musician.​

…a guitarist in the best modern American mold, clean and accurate in technique with a welcoming warmth and sensitivity to color…

"Kritzer took an assured approach in the popular Rodrigo concerto, [for guitar and orchestra] strumming the big chords for the whole hall to hear and biting into the Spanish rhythms. But nothing could equal his work in the dreamy second movement. Kritzer’s lyricism was golden. He refused to rush, letting the solo phrases hang deliciously in the air. Would that more musicians had his courage."

"He possesses an uncanny ability to seek out and commission fresh, invigorating repertoire that he invest with both robust character and poetic nuance. Able to reveal insights without resorting to exaggeration, Kritzer’s guitar takes on all the riot and color of the 21st century"

"…the large crowd sat transfixed by the captivating performance… even the sound of breathing came to a halt."

"My favorite classical guitarist."
