"Whether it be the sassy "Quando, Quando, Quando" or the thrilling "Some of These Days", Bill A. Jones can really sell a song. He inhabits each fully and sends it across the footlights with TLC. His show is truly representative of that old Vegas style singing show that you just don't see any more. It brings back all the fond memories of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin and the other greats of that era. Jones is that good, and you do not want to miss him whenever and wherever he performs." - Don Grigware, BroadwayWorld "Jones’s warm baritone, brisk rhythmic flow & easygoing phrasing brought life and substance to everything he sang
