"The music on Eternal is brought to life with clarity by a jazz trio melded with a chamber ensemble. Pianist John di Martino put together nine arrangements for the trio while Steve Newcomb arranged three of the pieces and did all of the orchestrations for the strings and winds. The resultant blend is beautiful and seamless, as sensitivity reigns supreme. The material is a mixture of familiar songs that resonate with McNulty, classics seen in a new light, and lesser-known numbers that perfectly mirror the singer's feelings".

"McNulty has put all she has learned over half a lifetime of jazz singing and songwriting into this exquisite chamber jazz CD ... On this CD, McNulty bares her soul, and one doesn't dare look away".
