“She's a show stopper. She wails, she grooves, she swings. She plays with authority, with power, with soul.'” Ron Avery, Philadelphia Daily News
“She kicks ass with such conviction, laying out funk-infused, jazz-inflected salsa with such raw power, audiences are often stunned. It's like, 'Hey, they don't play like girls.'” Marjorie Preston, The Philadelphia Weekly
“Ms. Riley is a sax dynamo who can blow away the walls or soothe the savage beasts. She is one of the very finest working the reeds in this town.'” True Van Deusen, Philly Jazz
