"Coroza shows the potential to reinvigorate Tagalog poetry by infusing it with a fresh perspective without damaging its classical framework. Many young writers think that the only way to make a mark in literature is to destroy what their elders have built, to subvert its native moorings. Coroza, we think, believes that freshness of voice is compatible with traditional viewpoint."
--Cirilo F. Bautista (Philippine Panorama, 29 March 1998)
"Michael Coroza is regarded as one of the champions of the oral tradition of poetry. While most poets remain content with solitude, he would rather confront a skeptical audience with his mixed style of traditional and modern versification."
--Mayo Uno Martin (Mabuhay Magazine, February 2002)
"Bago na rin ang panulaan ng lalaki--sa panulat ni Michael M. Coroza. Dito, inilulunsad sa mga linyang lirikal ang panahon at tagpuan ng sariling itinatatag sa tabi ng imahen ng dating sinta, ng isang paslit, ng nagpatiwakal, ng matanda sa bintana, maestro, magnanakaw, o mga minamahal na alagad ng sining na namayapa na. Gamit ang lampara ng tradisyon na ang liwanag ay baha-bahaging nilalagot ng bago, inihahabi ni Coroza ang personal at pilosopikal sa politikal upang mabuo sa tula ang heograpiya ng ating katutubong kaluluwa. Kaya payapa at buo ang kanyang tinig sa pagkokorona sa karaniwan at dakila. At minamahal niya at kinukupkop ang itinutula."
