"Vocalist Melissa Stylianou, guitarist Gene Bertoncini, and bassist Ike Sturm make for a canorous combination. A working trio elevated by keen conversational rapport and an embrace of spur-of-the-moment suggestions, theirs is quite simply a perfect partnership".

"Also known as part of the threesome vocal group Duchess, Melissa Stylianou shows she is comfortable going it alone, mixing and matching intimate settings with guitarist Ike Sturm and guitarist Gene Bertoncinin for a collection of mostly standards. Stylianou's voice is clear, clean, comfortable in its wide range and casual in its swing".

"For her latest outing, Melissa Stylianou leaned into the Great American Songbook for a collection of brilliant reinventions. She's accompanied by Gene Bertoncini on acoustic guitar and stand-up bass player Ike Sturm, but they play together like a band, not a singer with backing musicians".
