"Horn's discography is light on live recordings, making Live at the 4 Queens an immediately valuable addition to her recorded oeuvre. It is a spirited recital of nine tunes by Horn and her long-time rhythm section of bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams recorded live at Las Vegas' The 4 Queens Hotel, May 2, 1988. Horn was in excellent health and voice during this period, showing off her ballad prowess on "Lover Man," "You'd be So Nice to Come Home To," and "Just for a Thrill," the last being played just fast enough to retain the pulse of jazz. It is a masterful performance".

"This album bubbles over with class and style. There is an accompanying booklet with interviews with Sheila Jordan, producer Jean-Philippe Allard and others that put Ms. Horn's career in perspective. This is a lady that needs to be re-introduced to the world, and Resonance has delivered another gem from its Mother Lode".

"This 54-minute set captures Horn near the onset of her mighty resurgence, one day after her 54th birthday in May of 1988. She's fronting one of the all-time tightest trios, with her loyal rhythm team of bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams. Horn's incomparable vocal style, snail slow and cashmere soft, is gorgeously exercised across ballads (...) and perkier selections (...). But this collection is as much a showcase for her instrumental artistry".
