"Cheryl Bentyne has always had profound, if sometimes under-appreciated, skills as a jazz vocalist. In addition to her 30-plus year career as The Manhattan Transfer's high soprano, Bentyne released 10 previous solo albums before landing on the Summit label ... On "Lost Love Songs", Bentyne is in typically fine voice, Her singing is classy, understated and appropriately torchy ... A standout track is an Afropop treatment of Chuck Magione's "Land Of Make Believe", arranged in 12/8 time with an African-inspired men's chorus".
