"At a time when the economics of the art of jazz singing are certainly not at their best-it is doubly heartening to hear the best recording I've heard since Tom Lellis, a couple years ago, from Lisa Rich. You the listener probably will agree with me that herein your ears will find excellence on many levels. Pitch, tone, improvisation, song selection, and arrangement-just sheer talent, too.”
- Mark Murphy
"Lisa Rich is a cool, accurate, sophisticated vocal stylist with an ear for the unhackneyed melodic line, a deft sense of time and accurate pitch, which holds up perfectly on very sustained tones. She is a poised and highly professional artist with a good range and superb control.”
