"... it's not hard to see why DEE can't make some noise. Groovy enough to appeal to the R'n'B hipsters, trashy enough for the punk kids, and dancey to make the club kids shake it, there could be really something brewing here."
- CHART ATTACK, Brian Pascual
"....A catchy, up-tempo, keyboard-focused instrumental that set a Brit-influenced dance-rock tone. The highlight came in the form of a bendy, barefoot babe guest vocalist...." - HOUR, Jamie O'Meara
"Last month, during the press conference of Montreal Jazz Fest, programmer Laurent Saulnier insisted to say that Dee was a rising star in the Montreal scene. It's true that everything is going well for Dee. Very well. And his high caliber blend of funk and rock is probably one of the reason why...
The fact that Miller beer has chosen Dee's sunny song "Filter Factory" in their latest ad campaign is proof that Dee's music is catchy. One listen to "She's Expensive" with Dee's small british touch in his voice will convince you...
If you have something planned on Sunday night, just cancel everything. The party might be better with Dee." - Bernard Lamarche
"...offering a sprightly Beck-style funk freak-out for your ears and ass...Dee knows what the kids like, offering up stanky bass riffs and sing-along choruses aplenty, a tactic that reaches a climax on "Filter Factory"..." - EXCLAIM!, Martin Turenne
“5 out of 5… His songs are too groovy to be ignored ….DEE offers a pop which is definitely intelligent, corrosive, danceable and jazzy… Whether you want to dance or not, this album won’t give you a chance to stop… a must!” - METRO
"...He’s an explosion, you have to see him on stage!" - RADIO-CANADA, Claude Deschene
"...It’s an irresistible party…DEE’s energy is contagious.”
- LA PRESSE, P. Journet
"Dee's self-titled CD is a party-mix of dance, rock, disco and funk stuffed with catchy hooks from start to finish. Dee has an innate ability to stitch those catchy hooks together... while infusing the songs with a depth and sophistication that brings to mind Prince or the Pet Shop Boys. With music like this, Madonna, as others do, should keep an ear tuned to the music Montreal has to offer."
- Journal de Montreal
