Music columnist Gerry Taylor wrote in the Telegraph-Journal: "... the Saint John area's premier folk act Before the Mast makes shanties and other sea songs an art form. An a cappella group that varies the lead and harmony voices, Before the Mast pays homage to our maritime heritage....Before the Mast is just about as energetic as a traditional sea-song singing chorus can get without busting a barnacle. They’re witty too and wrapped-in-canvas entertainers all.....whose seafaring tales, fact and fiction, will astound you."
Jean-Francois Blais commented on his internet radio show Bordel de Mer, recorded at "La Fête des chants de marins" in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, “Before the Mast has great energy and presence on stage, rich harmonies, and a wonderful rapport with audiences.” He goes on to say that members of the group “don't merely sing shanties, they live them !”
