    Technically well done. The sound quality is good, but where are the melodies? With the exception of 'The Look of Love' I raved about her CDs, but this one is filled with songs that go nowhere, and that are easily forgettable....I'm not saying she should resume just doing jazz standards, but better material than this has to be available somewhere...I found it tedious.

    Key to the success of the disc is Krall's stretch on the keys, making this her strongest jazz outing.

    Alternately poignant and playful. [30 Apr 2004, p.161]

    There's a bolder choice of material.... Her playing has loosened up too. [Jun 2004, p.100]
