—Birmingham Mail, 17th February 1973
A feature which stands out in Blyton’s writing for the saxophone quartet is the economy of scoring. All the works … are very easy to play from a technical point of view, but they are extremely difficult to play well, owing to the transparency of the textures, in which every note is important. [from The Saxophone Quartet Music of Carey Blyton by the leader of the London Saxophone Quartet]
