"As the title implies, Ella: Accentuate the Positive is a tribute album imbued with Carter's obvious love for Fitzgerald, but which accents everything that makes the violinist such a compelling, distinctive performer in her own right".

"Regina Carter's keening violin is one positive attribute on this tribute to centenary honoree Ella Fitzgerald. Her band's easy blend is another. The idea of refreshing lesser-known bits of the First Lady of Song's catalog is a third".
