The Taboo of Subjectivity is a book by B. Alan Wallace. It appears that Dennett wrote a review for that work, but I couldn’t find it online. Are you referring to that review, or to something else?
I see what you meant now. Dennett was quoted in Wallace’s book, on p.139. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The quote, with some context, is:
Paul Churchland, one of the most prominent advocates of this view [eliminative materialism], declares that commonsense experience is probably irreducible to, and therefore incommensurable with, neuroscience; and for this reason familiar mental states should be regarded as nonexistent or at most as “false and misleading”^18. For similar reasons, philosopher Daniel Dennett bluntly asserts: “[t]here simply are no qualia at all.”^19
