PaulPMay 30, 2003This is an awesome album! The music sweeps and takes you in all directions. I love it. Her voice is fantastic, as always. I can't say enough about this CD.

PeterJun 4, 2003I have really tried to fall in love with this album, but failed. McKee's voice is one of the best in business, she is free spirited and stays clear of the boring corporate mainstream. But with these songs--surely inventive and clever at times--she just doesn't sparkle the way she used to. And there are actually a few flat notes here and there.

BJO'MalleyJan 23, 2005This just isn't the Maria I know and LOVE! Have been a lot of comparisons between High Dive and Life is Sweet. I don't get that. Life is Sweet is an amazing album, High Dive is, um, boring. I can't wait until "Peddlin' Dreams" comes out...April '05.

McKee's High Dive is simply an awe-inspiring album and easily her finest recorded moment.

MojoThe best solo album of her career. [May 2003, p.90]

Q MagazineThere's a lack of clutter to songs such as To The Open Spaces and the title cut, with its barely-there brass arrangements, which makes them simple pleasures, and among the best songs of her career. [Jun 2003, p.102]
