Frank Muller garnered wide praise as one of the most talented narrators of audiobooks. Author Stephen King said, "(When Frank reads) the blind will see, the lame will walk, and the deaf will hear." Author Pat Conroy says "He is the best. A prince of language". The Wilson Library Bulletin says "The most outstanding interpreter of audio in the United States is still Frank Muller". Library Journal calls him "the first true superstar reader in the world of spoken word audio". The Los Angeles Times said "(he is) the best reader I have ever heard". AudioFile Magazine says "Master narrator Frank Muller is a perfect interpreter, the medium through which an author's words resonate to the listener. His voice is distinct, yet it yields a thousand characters.

"[When Frank reads] the blind will see, the lame will walk, and the deaf will hear." - Stephen King

       He could be transparent, offering the very essence of a character baring his soul or his teeth, or speak elegantly as he spun out a descriptive passage. He made the listener believe the characters no matter how wacky and made classic characters live and breathe for a contemporary audience. The Philadephia Enquirer says "Nobody can set you trolling the depths of the soul like Frank Muller can..... A veteran actor, and the darkly superb voice of some of Recorded Books' most challenging works... He has a voice and delivery that speak of distant, if darker places where life somehow takes on a greater significance..." The New York Times Book Review opined that "A man who can successfully recreate both Captain Ahab and George Smiley is some kind of genius." The Chicago Tribune wrote "Deftly segueing from Shakespeare to Stephen King, from Melville to John Le Carre, Muller...established himself as one of the more ubiquitous and persuasive voices on taped books, the Laurence Olivier of the medium".
