“A citizen's required reading for July 4th: The Declaration of Independence (with music) ”

— Andrew Malcolm, LA Times

“This L.A.-based singer's blend of honeyed vocals and slow-moving dance grooves recalls Desiree (especially on the motivational "Get Myself Up"). But producer Rocky Grisez also incorporates the looped guitars and subtle rhythms of Dallas Austin's TLC work, making compelling tracks out of familiar building blocks ("Will You"). "Possibility," incorporating a horn into the airy mix, is a jazzy gem. She and Grisez have hit on a winning formula... Bonus points for shouting out RAWA.org in the CD booklet. (DBW)”

— David B Wilson (DBW), WilsonandAlroy
