"Phisiks of Metaquavers"
December 18, 1974:

"Maybe it is program music. Maybe it is theatre. Who cares? It looks good. It sounds good. It works."

John Rockwell reviews
"Phisiks of Metaquavers"
December 10, 1974

"...it was always obvious that he had a nice ear for sound. and his "Phisiks of Metaquavers" program Sunday at the Kitchen, ... addressed itself refreshingly to aural matters. "

Leonard Horowitz reviews 
"28 feet high/80 feet long" 
February 27, 1975

"The event was just as exciting a visual trip as a musical one."

Peter Frank:

"Six Solos in the Form of a Pair" 
October 26, 1972:

"... an extremely effective blend of musical ideas and   theatrical  ideas, and ... one of the few chamber works around which holds up as a program by itself."

"Mr. Burton has a musical mind whose workings were agreeable, and sometimes astonishing, to follow, and he had gathered a first-rate team of interpreters."

"Jim Burton's (work) makes tremendous sense. He is clever, resourceful, tremendously entertaining... He's got a brain in his head and a tongue in his cheek."

Noel Carroll:"
Burton is very knowledgeable of the range of comic formats and in the course of the evening he moves from physical comedy to verbal humor with surprising ease..."
