Referring to his performances, Cabaret Scenes has said, " Dennis McNeil is a listener's dream. He sings standards the way they were meant to be sung, utilizing his sweet, powerful voice... to sing melodies close to the way they were written. ... McNeil sets the bar very high on these standards, with perfect delivery, definitive and authoritative phrasing and articulate diction." And, Don Grigware writes, " He is a fabulous singer and entertainer..."
