"Bobby is one of Canada's great young guitarists and his talent is equal to many of the world's great guitarists"
"Camerons eight-song disc Emotional Drift, shows off the reason hes signed as a songwriter. With more hooks than the sports section at Canadian Tire, the songs are naturals to get stuck on radio playlists" Mary-Lynn McEwen - FFWD Weekly - Calgary AB Canada
"Singer-songwriter Bobby Cameron's Drowning On Dry Land is 24-Karat, folk rock gold. Highlighting his superb vocals with acoustic and slide guitars, this runs the full gamut of emotions. From the opening vocals on Inside Out to the slashing chord changes of Grass is Never Greener, you'll be hooked" Emusic.com
