Describing her music as "piano driven (with serious chops on that front) and a sweet, slightly airy voice that lets her songs of adoration move with grace beyond the status quo," Worship Leader Magazine notes that "listeners will hear bits of Twila Paris and overtones of Vanessa Carlton, but brought together, they form a sweet sounding tone that has its own musical mark.”
"Listening to Evie Haskell's latest release is like spending a day at Disney World. "Rhymes and Riddles, Cartwheels and Cars" is such a fun and whimsical adventure that is original, passionate, and upbeat. The album is inspired by the last three years of Evie's life. Marriage, a major move, and dream-chasing have lead to a fun and off-beat album that breaks the mold of today's cookie cutter radio fare. Evie's songwriting is filled with subtle wit and wisdom that rivals the songwriting master Chris Rice. I wont give a song by song review but will say that every song is as worthy of radio time as anything you'll hear on today's dial. "Rhymes and Riddles, Cartwheels and Cars" is getting lots of plays on my iPod and I'm certain that if you give her a try you'll find the same thing. If there is one album you get yourself or anyone you love this Christmas season make sure you treat yourself to "Rhymes and Riddles, Cartwheels and Cars" ...

"First you're struck with how Evie has that modern professional sound attributed to the most successful of women singer/songwriter keyboard players. Then you realize that her lyrics and depth of melody is in its own category. This is emotional poetry with melodies that flow effortlessly from one key to another. Her voice is a well tuned instrument that she uses to every song's advantage."
Samuel Bowen (Artist and Fan) - Itunes Review
“Evie second album, "Rhymes and Riddles, Cartwheels and Cars", features songs that have been inspired by the last 3 years of Evie's life. Marriage, a major move, and dream-chasing have sparked quite an array of creatively-written songs, some fun and quirky, some serious and melancholy, and a few in-between. Evie's thought-provoking introspection is laced with her sense of humor throughout the CD, which makes for an enjoyable listening experience”

“I've been working with thousands of independent Christian artists since 1997, and it is seldom I come across an artist who moves me as much as Evie Haskell. Evie's passion and excellence are sure to increase the scope of her music mission in the coming years!”

"Evie is a young lyricist and vocalist that you will see and hear a lot about in the future.”
Jeff McLaughlin - of Contemporary Christian Music Network International
"... Piano driven (with serious chops on that front) and a sweet, slightly airy voice that lets her songs of adoration move with grace beyond the status quo. Haskell is a new worship artist that enters like a fresh breeze on the Christian music scene.”
