The New York Times critic John Rockwell has noted Stewart Rose for his "remarkable virtuosity, agility and fluency, and his ability to retain the horn's cheery rusticity."

Buffalo Globe critic Herman Trotter said of "From the Forest": "This is a recording to be treasured, not only by horn players but by average music lovers searching for new frontiers of musical excellence."
