"... a testimonial song... solemn and reverential... poignant." - Times Herald-Record of New York about From Too Much Love Of Living for mezzo-soprano and piano

"... a kinetic tour de force... the interplay of metal and wood made the music continuously fascinating." - The San Francisco Classical Voice about THANATOS for percussion quartet

"... his connection to the Whitman text, "Come Lovely and Soothing Death", was apparent. The a cappella music was tonal without pandering, filled with craft without becoming academic, and at all times richly emotional. Bravo to Kaefer, Nair, and the Chorale. " - The New Jersey Star Ledger about Come Lovely and Soothing Death for mixed chorus

"Throughout, tonally derived harmonies were accented by expressive melodic dissonances in a vaguely jazzy style. Flute pyrotechnics and colorful chords characterized this entertaining, outwardly directed music." - The Yale Daily News about Colored Landscapes for flute and piano
