Image:songsofthedirhja1.jpg|"'Tenderness' is my favorite! Beautifully executed, Ms. Mueller captures an abundance of feeling. Kirk and Spock are drawn with exquisite care to remain true to the narrative explaining their appearance. Spock’s hair is long and tinged with white; Kirk’s hairline is receding and is hair longer. Spock bears obvious scars from his brutal beatings. The love shines through as they touch fingers in the traditional Vulcan way, their features soft and tender as they look into each other’s eyes. Beautiful." from The K/S Press #198 
Image:songsofthedirhja2.jpg|"'The Heat of Love' is exactly what it implies, and is another successful attempt to illustrate Kirk and Spock’s somewhat altered physical presence. They look enough like what we remember, but clearly reflect all they’ve endured during the past twelve years. Ms. Mueller has again done a remarkable job." from The K/S Press #198 
Image:songsofthedirhja3.jpg|"'The Master and the Slave' focuses on the role Kirk was forced to play while he was held captive on a different world by a female slaver with of a formerly unknown race. What an imagination it takes to create such a race, and what skill and artistry is necessary to bring it to life in black and white. I believe this is pencil, and we know it was drawn by [IM Mueller] strictly from the author’s description, which is something quite incomprehensible to me." from The K/S Press #198 
Image:songsofthedirhja4.jpg| "'Enslaved Beyond Endurance' depicts Spock held in a cage, treated for his injuries in a crude veterinary hospital as an animal. Ms. Mueller captures the dismal, cramped quarters and especially the despair and the unfocused look of hopelessness on Spock’s face. Without ever having read the words, you immediately feel his misery and the biting cold." from The K/S Press #198 
Image:songsofthedirhja5.jpg|"'Heroes Forever' makes me want to reconsider which image is my favorite, partly because this was a definite high point of the novel. Also because once again the artist has proven how clearly she sees the scenes and how masterfully she is able to give them another dimension. Another winner by Mueller." from The K/S Press #198
