"Im vergangenen Jahr beendete Renée Fleming ihre grosse Opernkarriere. Im Frühjahr schon stand sie am Broadway in "Carrousel" auf der Bühne ... Die Stimme schmeichelt, charmiert und changiert wie eh und je ... Dass die Sängerin manchmal ein wenig "drücken" muss, mag auf kleinere Blessuren der Stimme zurückzuführen sein - immerhin wird Fleming Anfang nächsten Jahres 60 Jahre alt. Die Arrangements sind sehr unterschiedlich, teilweise jazzig, loungig oder nightclubmässig ... Richtig hingerissen ist man nicht".

"To call Renée Fleming versatile is a heavy understatement. She seems limitless in her effortless investigation of genres and repertoire ... It was only a matter of time before she would step onto the Broadway stage ... Now here Decca attentively present a full-length recital with Renée in Broadway musical repertoire, and my only regret is that we are denied anything from Nettie Fowler's role [in Carousel] ... What I do like is that the repertoire is, by and large, unhackneyed and the time span is wide ... All in all, then, a valuable disc with quite a lot of songs off the beaten track, which admirers of Renée Fleming, or of Broadway musicals in general, or both, should derive hours and hours of pleasure from".

"A Broadway album ... from the world's most glamorous soprano ... In classic repertoire ... her 'legit' soprano may need scaling back but it's also where those songs live, and she's home free, swooning portamento and all ... It's interesting that the numbers in which she opts for a jazzy take feel most comfortable ... Not everything convinces me but there's enough here that does - and her love for the repertoire is palpable".
