"The concerto could not have had a more auspicious debut. Porter, a charismatic performer, was focused, flexible and intensely in the moment. She tossed off fiendishly difficult passages as if they were child's play and performed lyrical passages with heart-rending emotion."
AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, JULY/AUG 2010

SIR JAMES GALWAY writes "I have known Miss Porter for over 15 years and during this time I have had the pleasure to observe her develop as a soloist and a teacher. As a flutist she is right at the top of the ladder of the young professionals with a great technique and even more rare, great musical instinct."

Bernard Holland of THE NEW YORK TIMES calls her "technically robust and musically forceful."

Charles Ward of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE writes "She has succeeded in avoiding all the overdone playing styles of the most famous flutists today... She also was an exuberant, easily extroverted performer whose enthusiasm for the music made the composition sparkle."

Pan: The Magazine of the BRITISH FLUTE SOCIETY says "Amy Porter's skill enables her to express passion, whimsy, simplicity and many other moods with apparent ease, giving a sense of total involvement."
