"While Nico Paulo takes a little while to get fully into a comfortable stride (again, ending on its highest and best note by far), it's a debut that lets you enter its world at your own pace. Sometimes it's as light and airy as a summer's breeze, and other times it sweeps you up in the moment, like stumbling into an argument between a couple at a house party. Be it mellow or tumultuous, Paulo is ready to hold your hand all the way through, because as evidenced here, she knows just how important that kind of connection is".

"Sometimes all it takes is a note or two, and you're hooked; such is the case with Nico Paulo's self-titled debut. Rarely has an album captured the dual culture of an artist as this debut has done for this Canadian-born, Portuguese-raised singer-songwriter. Quite often, both sides of her character appear on the same track, creating a most intriguing blend of cultures and characteristics. Using the sounds of Portugal and Canada, she has created a hybrid existing in a space all its own ... The final track on the album, "Read My Mind," is, in many ways, reminiscent of Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes." There's a feel to the song that's hard to disregard. Instead of singing about the march of time, this song is about a lover that knows another's mind too well. The longer the song goes, the jazzier the interplay becomes ... This is merely the beginning of what will hopefully be a long amd productive journey".
