“Exceptional…Most remarkable…new levels of beauty and richness while filling her character with great tenderness, intelligence and emotion.” - San Diego Playbill
"It only took hearing the first few phrases sung to let me know the songs are in good hands...Sandy's voice is instantly appealing...She has an open and sweet quality, but with intelligent phrasing that keeps her safely far away from over-sentimentality. It's no surprise to learn that she has experience in theater and cabaret. It shows...Campbell and G. Scott Lacy crystallize the emotional potential of rich songs like these. An encore would be very welcome." - Talkin' Broadway
"...among the very best -- musically lovely and (rarer still) beautifully acted...The album overall is really wonderful; fine choices of songs, all well done." - Josh Rubins, Composer/Lyricist (Brownstone, All the Queen's Men)
"Beautiful, sensitive...a wonderful recording." - Jeff Blumenkrantz, Composer (The Other Franklin)
