"While McLorin Salvant's rigorous studies in classical, baroque, and jazz music are clear factors, it's the way she personalizes mood and style in her singing that authenticates her craft. There are hints of Billie Holiday's melancholic phrasing and Abbey Lincoln's storytelling, as well as comedic phrasing ... The band sparkles on the title track, written by the singer, and the classic "There's a Lull in My Life," with its unique changes, before McLorin Salvant's magic conjures up memories of the great Ella Fitzgerald. A touch of nostalgia yet totally fresh, this is an excellent release from a unique and impressive new voice".
