"Dee Dee Bridgewater strips off some of the polish from her style on Memphis - Yes, I'm Ready without betraying her talent or best musical instincts, and this detour into Soul City is a treat that should please her fans, as well as anyone who digs Southern soul".

"Dee Dee Bridgewater delivers arguably her most heart-felt album here, a tribute to the earthy sounds and grooves of her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee ... She puts the soul back into soul music on this one!".

"... for the incomparable Dee Dee Bridgewater, soul music isn't foreign territory. Her albums in the late '70s and early '80s leaned more toward soul-funk than the straightahead jazz that has defined her recent artistry. On Memphis - Yes, I'm Ready, she approaches soul, blues and gospel classics with gleeful enthusiasm ... With Memphis being her birthplace, Bridgewater also brought a heightened level of personal poignancy".
