"Perhaps the best thing about Songbook Sessions: Ella Fitzgerald is the title, one that promised more of the same. And that is good...very good".

"An act of loving homage from one vocalist to another, it features Ms. Monheit with her longtime band, but in the hands of an outside producer, the trumpeter Nicholas Payton. There's a flicker of odd-couple tension in their alliance, and it works".

"Nobody brought more joy or pathos to jazz singing than Ella Fitzgerald, inspiring generations of jazz vocalists. One of them was Jane Monheit, who grew up learning the American popular canon from Ella's Songbook albums. Now Monheit repays the debt, singing favorite Fitzgerald tunes in an album filled with startling invention and beauty ... Trumpeter Nicholas Payton originally intended only to produce and arrange but ended up playing throughout the album, creating a fascinating melodic foil for Monheit".
