"THE SONG SELECTION IS INCREDIBLE, THE MUSICIANS ARE WORLD CLASS, AND THE RECORDING IS WONDERFUL. MANY FEEL THIS WAS HER BEST STUDIO ALBUM AND ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS HAS TAKEN THIS GREAT LP TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. THEY HAVE GIVEN IT TO US ON DYNAMIC 45 RPM LPS AND A DEAD QUIET PRESSING. I REALLY LIKE THIS ALBUM AND IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE SUCH GREAT MUSIC SOUNDING SO GOOD. MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!"---JACK ROBERTS, DAGOGO
"DOWN BEAT'S WEST COAST EDITOR JOHN TYNAN GAVE THIS A FOUR STAR REVIEW, REMARKING THAT IT IS,...LOOSE, UTTERLY RELAXED, A TOP FLIGHT SOLO WORK,"
"...BECAUSE BILLIE IS THAT RARE ARTISTE WHO CANNOT AND WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A SONG WHICH STORY DOESN'E MEET HER UNDERSTANDING AND APPROVAL; LITERALLY, BILLIE TELLS HER SONGS RATHER THAN SINGS THEM AS FAR AS THE LYRICS ARE CONCERNED, YET, WITHAL, TREATING THE MELODY AS STRIKINGLY AS ANY INSTRUMENTALIST."--NORMAN GRANZ
