Singer-songwriter Anne Burnell has been praised as "a singer of glorious gifts" by the Chicago Tribune and a "fluid, silken voice navigates the various scales with remarkable agility and delightful phrasing" by Chicago Jazz Magazine.

Mark has been recognized and lauded for his musical creativity and versatility with Chicago Jazz Magazine saying, "He uses his skill and instincts as a jazz improviser to adapt to any situation, even one that contains no jazz at all."
Named "Chicago's Top Ten" for two consecutive years by New York's Cabaret Hotline, Anne and Mark have delighted audiences in Bern, Zurich, Paris, Freiburg, Geneva, Jamaica, Panama, and Amsterdam.
