"Jazzmeia Horn is a supremely gifted jazz singer with a bright, resonant voice that she applies ably to soulful standards and vocalese numbers alike. It's a style that helped her win the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Vocal Jazz Competition, and which earned her a Grammy nomination for her 2017 debut, A Social Call. It's also a style that she further showcases to fine effect on her earthy sophomore album, 2019's Love & Liberation".

"Talk about being born to sing. With the name Jazzmeia Horn, could there possibly be any other destiny? At a mere 25 years old, the Dallas-born vocalist and composer received a Grammy nomination for her debut, A Social Call. Fast forward three years later with Love & Liberation and we find Horn's vocal skills even more finely tuned, her songs filled with personal relevance and social messages, and progressing in improvisation and versatility. Her scat singing here, for example, is veteran-like. This a leap forward as a singer, bandleader, and songwriter, all a result of constant touring since her debut ... The next coveted award may be coming her way soon. This not only has Grammy-nominated potential; it could clearly win".

"Best new vocal jazz album of the month comes from the award-winning Dallas chanteuse, Jazzmeia Horn. While her skill as an improvising scat vocalist makes her a throwback to the halcyon days of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, she's also fiercely contemporary as her retooling of Erykah Badu's "Green Eyes" demonstrates ... ["Love And Liberation" is] a magnificent tour de force where the 28-year-old singer shows how she's grown as a songwriter whose material evinces a strong socio-political emphasis".
